The number of catalytic converter theft claims dropped in the first half of this year, the first time that’s happened since 2019, according to data from insurance company State Farm NEW YORK -- The number of catalytic converter theft claims dropped in the first half of this year, the first time that's happened since 2019, according to data from insurance company State Farm. Thefts of catalytic converter s have become problematic nationwide in recent years . Once stolen, they are often melted down for their valuable metals.
