The Toyota Prius is the latest hot target for catalytic converter thieves, leaving dozens of cars waiting for new parts in Chicago.
Victory Toyota of Midtown in Chicago has more than a dozen Priuses lined up like a used car lot, but they're not for sale; they're waiting to have their catalytic converters replaced after the old ones wer stolen.
So many hare stolen the dealership can't keep up with demand. Meraz said the wait for manufacturers to send parts can take months."My longest vehicle has been here for nine months," he said. "The first time it took me three weeks before they could find a catalytic converter, now I don't even know how long it's going to take. It may be two months, that is what we are looking at right now," he said.
