(Springfield, IL) — A new law going into effect in the new year will hopefully curb catalytic converter thefts in Illinois. The legislation requires recyclable materials dealers to track VIN numbers from anyone looking to turn in the car parts for cash. Sellers would also have to provide documentation that they own the vehicle the catalytic converter came from. The value of the car parts has been increasing making them more appealing to thieves looking to make a quick buck.
