The owner of Ted Conner Landscaping in Pompano Beach said the crime happened fast.
It only took one minute for a thief to crawl under a car and saw off its catalytic converter, a round canister that connects two pieces of piping in the exhaust.
Jason Conner said he lost 16 catalytic converters out of eight cars on Friday night. He valued the loss at about $32,000.
“They took a Sawzall cut … the unit dropped and took off with it,” Conner said.
The property has more than 20 surveillance cameras. That didn’t stop the two thieves who cut a hole in the fence and calmly walked into the property with tools in hand.
