Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels said the catalytic converter from one of its vehicles was stolen twice this month.
“Our driver got in it that morning to start up the vehicle and when he started it, it sounded like a tank exploding pretty much,” said Rick Branek, field operations manager.“It’s pretty low for somebody to come by, be selfish, take a catalytic converter that they can pawn off and get money for, for their own gain while now we have to have a vehicle down,” Branek said.
“He goes, ‘Well, we had the catalytic converter stolen again,’” Branek said. “It’s a sucker punch. You get like kicked in the gut.”
