Catalytic converters theft and tracking efforts in Kansas
Kansas began a 2019 Scrap Metal Reporting System run by the KBI to track metals sold to scrap dealers. At the 12th and Haskell Recycle Center in Lawrence, catalytic converters are common, bought for as little as $10 and up to $300 rarely. The center uses a third party for value quotes and requires identification, with cameras recording entrants. Law enforcement notes converters are theft targets, and efforts include etching IDs on converters and partnering with auto businesses to deter theft. Police data show license plate thefts are more frequent, with thousands of plates reported stolen yearly and several recovered, and residents are urged to file police reports for replacements.
