Those numbers are for the U.S., but it’s possible Canada may be in line with that on a per-capita basis, especially since many police divisions are reporting increased numbers of theft investigations. Carfax said its higher number — up from media reports of 52,000 catalytic converters replaced under insurance claims in 2021 in the U.S. — also included converters that were replaced due to theft, but which weren’t paid out by an insurance company. Those are mostly because the owners either didn’t have any insurance, or they didn’t have comprehensive coverage that would pay for it.
There aren’t readily-available national numbers for Canada, but among major cities, Calgary police said that reported thefts rose from 300 in all of 2020, to 1,104 thefts in just theof 2021. In Surrey, B.C., police went from investigating 16 thefts per month in 2021 to 31 per month in 2022. In Niagara Falls, Ontario, police say they’ve received 21 reports of cat-con theft since February — less than a month and a half.
