Having a catalytic converter without proof it's yours could lead to prison time
If you are in possession of a catalytic convertor, you must provide proof it's yours or face up to three years in prison, according to Sheriff Lott.
"In 2016, we had two catalytic convertors stolen -- two. In 2020, 663. This year alone, we've had 290 stolen," said Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott.
