The man was able to hear the loud sound from inside their residence and immediately knew the catalytic converter had been stolen. He said this is the second time they have experienced this type of theft, as a similar incident happened approximately two months ago to the same vehicle. After the man spoke with the insurance company the first time, they agreed to have a generic catalytic converter installed with a heat-resistant red coating. This is the catalytic converter that was stolen this time. The approximate value is $1,500. There is no suspect information.
