I have not heard of catalytic converters being stolen...wheels yes......

Not Catalytic Converters. Besides....is not Texas kind of easy going on Licensing (SMOG Checks)?
Catalytic Converters might be worthless in South Dakota

No,

But they do cut them out of some trucks. The Dodges are easy just six nuts to remove. The dealer tac welded 5 of the six on mine which deterred the thieves. Now the will have to cut... They will probably come back with a saw tonight!

They hit new and used car lots using power tools; some times taking them all!
They even steal them from scrap yards.
