This is a failure on the part of Provincial governments or the Federal government. All scrap dealers should be required by law to keep a record of the identity of all people who sell them scrap metal. A law related just to catalytic converters and heavy copper cable might also be in order. Problems like this really undermine trust in the law.Awful about your truck and the theft ChemGal. Here, people are having a real problem with catalytic converter theft. The garage where we take our car had to put a huge fence around the vehicles left outside, but...the crooks just use the same tools to cut through the fence to get what they want. The owner has them on video but the police say they can't do anything. A local food charity had this happen to their van too, so food for quite a few people got delayed while they had the van fixed. I keep thinking that, if the police don't go after those doing the stealing, is there any way they can find out who is buying the converters and charge them? There is a car dealership in a sketchy part of town that doesn't seem to have any problem despite having many vehicles parked outside day and night. The detective in me (too many mystery novels) would start with this guy to figure out what keeps him safe.
