Catalytic converter thieves are reportedly now hitting Houston airport parking lots

Jolie Fletcher told KPRC she parked her Toyota Land Cruiser at the Ecopark lot on JKF Boulevard for about two weeks while she was away on vacation and returned to find her SUV was targeted by thieves.

“When we got to the vehicle and started the car, I knew immediately that something was wrong,” said Fletcher.“It seems that has been an ongoing issue,” she said. “Four or five others within the hour joined us to make the same report of missing Catalytic converters.”She filed a report with the parking lot which claimed they would refund her parking money but said they were not responsible for the theft.

Houston Airports constantly reviews how to better safeguard passengers’ vehicles while they are traveling and in addition to the crime deterrents in our parking facilities, we are grateful to the officers of the Houston Police Department who assist us every day in safeguarding our parking facilities.

From January 1, 2022, to June 30, 2022, more than 244,800 Ecopark users have experienced our efforts which have resulted in 99.97% of customers using our facilities without a security incident.”

Everyone needs to put those old fashioned alarms back in cars! Warning your too close to car.... And then siren! 🚨

How is that possible unless the parking lot is complicit? 'She filed a report with the parking lot which claimed they would refund her parking money but said they were not responsible for the theft.'
