Item: Thieves get on their backs to rip off Spokane drivers /Jeff Humphrey, KXLY

More Info: Spokane area thieves have come up with a new way to steal from you while they’re lying down on the job. Crooks are actually crawling underneath our cars and cutting off the catalytic converters.Brian Graham, a mechanic at The Muffler Mart says most victims are unaware the converter is missing until they turn the ignition. “Well when they start it up it sounds like an eight v-8 truck, they say uh-oh something’s the matter,” Graham said.
