This happened to a friend of mine recently and it was the first time I’d heard about it…but I guess this is happening all over the place.
I’m talking about thieves stealing catalytic converters from cars, and a TikTokker posted a video and told viewers about what went down.

The TikTokker showed viewers the undercarriage of his car and it’s obvious that a part of the vehicle’s exhaust system was removed.
He said, “I won’t really be able to drive the truck around, just because how loud it’s gonna be.”

The man said that he’ll be able to replace the part himself…but it won’t be cheap…
The TikTokker showed viewers that the replacement for the catalytic converter will cost anywhere from $839 to $1,123.
Doh!

@menjicar So someone decided to steal the catalytic converter out of my truck. I’m not surprised because it’s pretty common on these tacomas.
