PROTECT YOUR CAR FROM CATALYTIC CONVERTER THEFT
Nationwide and in the Schaumburg community, catalytic converter thefts are on the rise due to the valuable precious metals contained inside. A catalytic converter is a device that attaches to a vehicle’s exhaust system and is designed to convert environmentally hazardous exhaust to less harmful gases. A skilled thief can remove a catalytic converter in less than 90 seconds with a few simple tools, including an electric saw. The Schaumburg Police Department reminds residents to stay alert.

  • If possible, park your vehicle in a secure garage
  • Park in well-lit areas with high visibility 
  • Park near security cameras or a motion-sensing light 
  • Install an anti-theft device such as an alarm, steel shield, or cable locking device (available at auto repair shops and online) 
  • Engrave your license plate or Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the catalytic converter 
  • Please report any suspicious activity by dialing 911 immediately.
