Fuck you, catalytic converter thieves, for stealing the cat from my kid's 16 year old Prius.
My kid who has been unemployed for 6 months, and now the car is essentially totaled, because a new cat costs 70% the current value of the vehicle.
Fuck you for turning his old-but-reliable vehicle into junk, when he can't afford to buy even a shitty beater to replace it.
@FreedomATX I wish I knew where they were selling them. *TONS* of them being stolen in Portland - which is also the Prius capital of the world.
Prius apparently targeted because they're easy to remove, and because Prius is a hybrid, they're "fresher" than pure-ICE vehicles.
Yeah, we bought this Prius new in 2004 (when the now-classic-Prius-design first launched,) it's the car he learned to drive in. He's had it for 2 years now since we upgraded.
@ehurtley Oh no, I'm sorry that happened.
@ehurtley I'm so sorry.
@ehurtley
That sucks. Iβm sorry.
@ehurtley
What on earth is with all the Prius cat thefts? It seems like it suddenly started happening everywhere. Who is buying these mountains of stolen catalytic converters?!
