And then someone, like a metal recycling business, probably bought it. The buyers of the stolen catalytic converters should know that something is amiss. How can they not know they are buying stolen property?

The love of money is the root of all evil.

There are safeguards to keep thieves from selling them, but crooked recyclers will take them from thieves for less than they pay auto mechanics or legitimate customers.
