catalytic converter stolen
Just had the converter stolen while rig was in storage. We had trouble finding a replacement so we just welded in a straight pipe, which works great except the engine check light is on all the time no...

So why don't converters have VIN numbers on them like so many body parts?
What many body parts have the VIN on them?
On my 1999 and 2008 jeep most if not all of the body parts either have the Vin or a serial number. The door glass, side glass and the tail gate glass has the vin number etched in the glass.
I had purchased from an individual a set hard doors and hard top for my 1999 Wrangler and I was able to do a search on the vin numbers to verify they were not stolen.
I do not see it being a difficult thing to etch or weld a vin number on the catalytic converters by the manufacturer.
Also we could do more in prosecuting anyone involved in the disposal of the converters.
