Verna Taylor always took good care of her 2004 Toyota Sequoia, so when she cranked up her truck one morning to run errands, she knew the loud sound she heard wasn’t normal and drove straight to a nearby muffler shop.
“My truck sounded like a loud tractor or something,” Taylor said.
When the muffler shop hoisted the Sequoia on the lift, the mechanic quickly spotted the problem.
“Someone cut my catalytic converter, Taylor said. I didn’t even know what a catalytic converter was before this.”
The bigger surprise: a $1,500 price tag to fix it.
While Milwaukee police don’t break out stolen catalytic converters by category, they say stolen car parts of which catalytic converters are the main target are up significantly this year. As of April 11, there have been 497 “stolen car parts” reported, up 19% from the same time last year.

EMILY s List, the political group that supports abortion rights and puts its fundraising muscle behind Democratic women candidates, is diving into the 2022 U.S. Senate race in Wisconsin.
The group announced Tuesday that Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson is one of its political targets in the upcoming election cycle, an opposition program it calls On Notice.
Even though it doesn t mention her name in a news release, the move is the biggest signal yet that EMILY s List will support state treasurer Sarah Godlewski.
Emily Cain, executive director of EMILY’s List, said in a statement: “Senator Ron Johnson became the most unpopular Republican up for reelection by ignoring Wisconsin in favor of espousing conspiracy theories and blindly following Trump-first politics.
