Public Advisory - Stolen Catalytic Converters
Recently, the number of catalytic converters being stolen within the city has been noted to be on the rise.  The most recent numbers are as follows:
 
2012 - 16 stolen
2013 - 11 stolen.
2014 to date - 18 stolen
 
Sport Utility Vehicles are often targeted because they are higher off the ground. It takes experienced thieves about 3 minutes to cut the catalytic converter out with a reciprocating saw. While it is unknown at this time whether the stolen items are being sold for scrap, the price of the valuable metals in a catalytic converter (platinum, palladium and rhodium) has risen. Stolen catalytic converters can sell for $40.00 to $300.00 each.
 

8 Ways to Deter Catalytic Converter Theft:
 
1) Defensive Parking
Always park your vehicle in an area that allows the most visibility to passers-by. The riskiest places to leave your vehicle are the places where vehicles are left long term, (such as auto repair shops), and parking lots with closely parked cars allowing organized thieves to hit several cars at once. Always take note of the security precautions taken and ask if you have any doubts.
 
2) Effective Security Lighting
Lighting is vital to reducing catalytic converter theft. Though the opportunity thieves are getting bold enough to strike in busy areas in broad daylight, the more organized thieves won't be so brazen. They are more professional and bit more risk averse. Good security lighting makes your vehicles visible to the street without creating glare.
 
3) Live Video Surveillance
For some businesses it will make sense to install video cameras and employ live surveillance specialists to monitor for catalytic converter theft. If your live surveillance specialists are authorized to call the police on your behalf you can stop catalytic converter theft before it happens, potentially saving yourself the cost of damage to your vehicles.
 
4) Monitor Your Local News
The less organized opportunity thieves fall into quickly recognizable patterns in local areas. Monitor the Winnipeg Police Service Crime Stat website and your local news to give you an idea of when there are catalytic converter thieves in high activity in your area.
 
5) Spread Community Awareness
If you hear about catalytic converter thefts in your neighbourhood or even suffer the theft of a catalytic converter from your vehicle then consider getting the word out in some way to others in your area. The opportunity catalytic converter thieves often strike locally and repeatedly in their crime spree. Call your friends and associates in the area, knock on the doors of your neighbours and post fliers.
 
6) Welded Bolts
If your catalytic converters are "bolt on" you can have the bolts welded shut. This is only a deterrent to the lowest grade of catalytic converter thief though - the one who works only with a wrench. Still, in some cases it might be enough of a deterrent to help prevent a theft.
 
7) Catalytic Converter Protective Sleeves
Protective coverings for your catalytic converter, such as the device known as the "Catclamp," can deter thieves as well. The Catclamp and competitor Catcuff makes it much more difficult for the reciprocal saw wielding thief to steal your converter. They are somewhat pricey though, and if you're operating a fleet of vehicles or an auto dealership it won't be cost effective. They are great for owners of one or two cars.
 
8) ID# Etching
A major problem with this type of crime is convicting a thief when they are not caught in the act. Police need proof that a catalytic converter they find in a guy's trunk or at the scrap metal dealer is stolen. Etching your converter with your vehicles VIN number will help the police to track your converter back to you if police recover it after it's stolen. This will not protect you from theft, but it could help to catch the thieves preying on your neighbourhood's vehicles and at least you get some satisfaction knowing your foresight help convict the thieves.
 
IF YOU SEE SUSPICIOUS PERSONS OR VEHICLES IN PARKING LOTS OR NEAR VEHICLES AT YOUR HOME REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY 9-1-1. IF YOU HAVE INFORMATION ON THESE CRIMES, PLEASE CALL THE WINNIPEG POLICE NON-EMERGENCY LINE AT 204-986-6222.

Crime Prevention Tip

Choosing a safe Halloween costume for your child

PROPER FIT: Avoid purchasing costumes that are too big for your child. Costumes that are too long could cause the child to trip. Costumes too large can snag on objects.

ENSURE THE OUTFIT IS FLAME RESISTANT: Check labels to ensure it is made of flame resistant material.

KEEP THE NECK AREA CLEAR: Avoid costumes that are tight around the neck area or have cords near the neck area. Avoid Capes! They pose strangulation risks. They also increase the risk of tripping or snagging on objects.

 MASKS CAN BE DANGEROUS: Masks can obstruct a child's vision. When choosing a mask ensure it fits snugly on your child's face and the child can see clearly when it is on. Ensure the strings do not pose a strangulation risk and that the child can breathe properly when wearing it.

READ LABELS ON FACE PAINT: Ensure all face paint is non-toxic and is meant for use on the skin.

CHOOSE SAFE ACCESSORIES: Accessories such as plastic swords, wands and canes that a child may be carrying or wearing with their costume should be soft and flexible. Check to make sure they have no sharp edges or points. This helps to ensure the child will not be injured should they accidentally fall on the accessory.

PROPER FOOTWEAR: Choose footwear that is appropriate for the weather and fits the child properly. If the costume has a boot-cover type of addition, ensure that it will not pose a danger of your child slipping or tripping.

REFLECTION AND LIGHTS: If the costume does not have it, tape reflective material to the arms, legs, front and back of the costume. Give the child a flashlight to carry. If you are going to be with your child, carry a flashlight yourself.

Have a Safe and Happy Halloween!
