I hear they fetch about $100 each at scrap. Pretty tempting for some. |

You missed the intent. When there was a story about catalytic converters being stolen in Detroit the thread was overwhlemed with people stating that is why people can't live in Detroit. As for being jealous what exactly am I jealous of? Let's hear your wonderful insight. The point of the thread was proven. When there is a story about this happening in detroit the thread is full of people using it as an example of how horrible the city is. Funny how those same people don;t comment here. |

Platinum. They fetch over $1000 at the shop for a new exhaust, and per federal mandate, its illegal ($10,000 fine) for a shop not to install one. But this is all old news, except maybe not in Troy. |

With platinum soaring above $2000 per ounce, the situation will only worsen. |

If there is crime in the suburbs it is due to Detroiters. I guess the only solution would be to run further away. There is little wonder why the city and entire region are in complete shambles. |
