Catalytic converter theft is an increasing problem within San Bernardino County and causes significant financial damage to the victims. Due to the lack of Federal or State legislation that requires showing proof of ownership of a catalytic converter to law enforcement, criminal enforcement remedies are limited. The purpose and intent of this Chapter is to provide San Bernardino County with reasonable means to address the impact on the community and the victims posed by increasing catalytic converter thefts.
