Correction: The crime wave is a result of the rarity of heavy metals, but the reason cars exists is because humans exist. Humans wouldn't exist if supernovas billions of years ago hadn't created essential elements like selenium, iodine, and molybdenum that humans and plants can't live without, as fusion can only create elements lighter than iron. The course of geologic history would be completely different and intelligent life may not have developed at all.

ok turkey bob

Hi Bob, Brig here. Fascinating comment, I really enjoyed it.

Same! But it's a industrial-metal so depending on technology the price could crash (or surge) at any time...

Ounces? Chump change. Nah, to make real money you need to have bought some kilogram bricks back when it was at a low price point and held on to them.

I'm curious ... where's your house again?

Covid, employment market changing, manufacturing bottlenecks, inflation, etc. More monetary pressures and fewer “release valves”. Catalytic converter thefts did occur before, but usually before they were installed into any vehicle. That’s been clamped-down on and some people are taking more drastic measures. Plus lots more people used to “cat delete” back in the day than today, which provided some supply as well.

Part of its cost is probably explained by the fact that it is required in millions of car exhausts….

'We really need laws that prevent the sale of catalytic converters without provenance showing where it came from'. That would mean that I would be able to sell anything 'without provenance showing where it came from'. Agree.

They aren't selling them as cats. They take the precious metals melt them down and sell it. Almost none of them are actually being sold as parts. It's just a easy way to get a almost untraceable materiel. Times have gotten harder so people are looking for that easy money hence the increase.

@@jamesmelissawhite4807 I was under the impression that the people that stole them were desperate and just sold the entire thing to a third party who would THEN break it down for metals. Is that wrong?

@@Tinil0 Why would the 3rd party care about the crime? Very silly It is already illegal to steal them, you don't have to make it illegal to sell stole items lol. It will only make it harder for good people to make and sell them, the criminals don't care about laws and licenses lol

@@ExistenceUniversity They DON'T care about the crime, that's the problem. That's why thieves are able to sell them. There is no "good people"..making and selling??? catalytic converters. It isn't some backyard project lmao. The whole point in criminalizing it would be to have most junkyards and others taking in car parts to refuse to take in cats unless they can prove it isn't stolen. Making fencing illegal is not exactly controversial or new. There is a reason that reputable pawn shops have a close relationship with the police, to turn over goods they feel is stolen, because they are on the hook otherwise.

Im pretty sure there are other applications besides just catalytic converters :)

@@AkaRyrye83 Well, still catalytic converters, but not for cars, but in the chemical industry; and it is used in detectors. According to Wikipedia, 80% is used in automobiles, so chances are that the stolen Rhodium does end up in another car at some point.

Most likely the thieves will be selling the catalytic converters in whole for pennies on the dollar to a fence. The fence will bundle up a bunch of them into a crate or whatever unit and sell them to a shady exporter (or perhaps a higher-tier fence who sells to the exporter) at a somewhat higher rate than they paid the thieves. The exporter will ship it off to China or Indonesia or some similar country with a lot of desperate people. The importer on that end finds those desperate people who extract the elements using whatever method they can (often including cooking and chemical processes that release all kinds of toxic crap into the air and onto the ground). Those people then sell the extracted material to processing facilities which in turn do some final purification steps and sell it back to manufacturers. By the time its gone through even the first couple of those steps, its no longer really possible to differentiate the recycled stolen material from not-stolen recycled material. Especially after its been exported. The receiving country certainly isn't going to bother checking serial numbers or anything like that before they start cutting the things open and trying to recover the valuable parts.

@@altrag you know a bit too much about this to be considered innocent mate :P I assume you have some experience in this chain of events

Jewelry I’d say but that would make it last for too long & if I learned anything it is buy again & again. I imagine car companies just be saying buy a new one with the stolen catalytic converter metals 💀

If this Video made you curious, maybe try the 'Crime-Mentality' and 'Police-Issue' Videos of "Some More News". Very good Stuff.

I mean, technically the universe is responsible for *every* crime wave

I will definitely blame the Thieves!

I blame their country for letting people be so poor and desperate they turn to crime. People who have financial security generally don't risk thefts like this. But poor people still need to eat and live somewhere, even in a country with criminally low minimum wage, exploitatively high rent prices, and a cruel joke of a food assistance program.

@@pluspiping nah, poverty is not a reason to commit crime.

How much would that really help? I mean sure if they catch someone with a crate of catalytic converters laying around they could maybe find the original car owners and let them know, but its not like the things can just be returned and reattached to the car. And its pretty unlikely many (if any) are being resold as-is. They're getting cut open and having their innards recycled. And a serial number isn't going to be terribly useful after its been melted down. The only real way to stop it would be to make the CC harder to get at and remove. I imagine that's not as easy as it sounds either as its part of the exhaust system and temperatures are pretty high. You can't really move it closer to the cab or trunk or other areas people might be touching without realizing. You could try to enclose it in a metal box welded to the frame or something like that, but that would cause trouble if you need legitimate maintenance on it. Switching to EVs gets rid of the problem all together of course, but I'm sure there are parts in an EV that are both valuable and frustratingly easy for thieves to remove as well.

@@altrag could require disassembly of the cats to be a licensed activity, one of the license requirements being to record and report an image of each cat being disassembled + mass of the content extracted, and the mass of material tracked down the recycling chain. Wouldn't be a significant overhead

@@williamchamberlain2263 We're talking about people who jack up a car, get under it with a hacksaw and literally cut the thing out. I don't think they're going to spend a lot of time digging out their license if the cops show up. Its kind of a moot point. The people who buy the cats from the thieves might have a license to cover their day job if they happen to also run a legitimate recycling business, but its not like the tools they use are going to be checking the license before disassembly starts. As long as they're smart enough to keep the legit ones separate from the illegal ones, they're pretty much safe barring someone ratting them out. (Never mind the pure fences who don't have a "day job" and their only business is dealing with stolen products). And of course this is ignoring the biggest issue: Most of this is done overseas. I can guarantee you some guy burning his lungs out cooking cats to get a couple bucks worth of profitable metal isn't going to give the slightest of shits about US licensing requirements. Slapping a serial number on things like bikes and cars work because the thieves are (usually) trying to sell the entire stolen product, or are just joyriding it for a while and ditching it somewhere that it can be found and potentially recovered (if it wasn't destroyed in the process). Something like a cat that's explicitly being dismantled is much, much harder to track down. There's only so many places you can stamp a serial number and once those places have been cut away or melted down, the remainder of the stolen material (ie: the valuable stuff) looks no different from legit material. (Oh yeah, and they already have serial numbers on them for the most part. Not for theft prevention but for inventory and warranty tracking since they're valuable enough to be worth that effort regardless of post-market theft rates.)

@@altrag no, I mean that down the materials chain the mass is accounted for at each step, and has to be traceable back to a licensed agent disassembling a cat with images on record.

@@williamchamberlain2263 How exactly do you trace a chunk of raw metal that's been melted down and formed back into raw ingots? Hell, its not even easy to know at that point whether its raw or virgin metal never mind figuring out who owns the hacksaw that cut it out of a car on the other side of the planet. The path goes like this: 1) The thief. Pretty sure you aren't going to get "licensed" to steal parts off peoples' cars, so that's a non-starter and the chain of traceability is already broken. 2) The fence. Their whole job is buying stolen goods from thieves and selling it to whoever will keep their mouths shut. Also pretty sure you aren't going to get licensed for "selling stolen property". They may even cut off and dispose of the casing (ie: where serial numbers would be stamped) in order to save weight/space in the next step. And its a safe bet that they won't be handing the discarded casings over to law enforcement. Another link in the chain broken. 3) The exporter. They may know that the fence is a bit shady but as long as the fence has the goods packaged up well enough its a "don't ask, don't tell" situation. _They_ have no way to know if its stolen goods or not in that crate. They're just packing it on a ship and sending it on its way. You could try to license these people, but as they don't even know there's a cat in the box the license isn't probably going to do much good. So I guess this link is in tact, but its a pretty weak link nonetheless. 4) The importer. Now you're in Indonesia. Good luck getting them to care about US licensing requirements. And even if they do, they're in much the same position as the exporter - don't ask, don't tell. Another potentially in tact link but even weaker than the previous. 5) Who the hell knows. A bunch of randos spread around Indonesia hiring literally dudes in their back yard with a barrel fire to melt the items down and extract the valuable material. No chance of even finding these people to license them, never mind them caring about US law. 6) The extractors. These are the dudes in their back yard burning their lungs out for a couple bucks an hour. They haven't even seen a chain never mind worrying about being a link in it. They've got bigger problems. 7) Who the hell knows again. After the materials have been extracted, its collected by more randos that may or may not be the same randos as above. They sell the valuable material to a smelter. 8) The smelter. Now we're finally at a place we could potentially start tracking the material. Yay! Unfortunately at this point, the material is just a block of sludgy metal. The smelter has to purify it and form it into ingots (or whatever unit rhodium is sold in), so they'd probably be able to tell that it came from a cat, but any serial number or other identifier is long, long gone by now. The absolute best you might get through something like spectroscopy is maybe finding out what manufacturer created the material as they likely all have slightly different formulations, but given the "processing" involved in step 6 even that is pretty questionable. 9) Finally, manufacturers purchase the ingots from the smelters (likely after another round of much-more-legitimate export/import). So the question is, where exactly are you planning to start this trail of material tracing? There really isn't anyone prior to step 8 that would give any shits about being legally licensed, and by the time you hit step 8 there's not really anything left to trace. If it was as easy as you seem to think, it would have been done long ago.

It's very common here in the US lol.

From what I've read, a lot of the precious metals in the earth's crust were deposited later by meteor impacts, and that a lot of the original gold sank to the core during the molten stage. Asteroids are likely to be richer on average than the crust of the earth in these metals, hence one of the attractions of Asteroid mining. Especially the Asteroids that came from objects that were temporarily molten, then were broken apart. Any rocks made from that semi-core material would be enriched in precious metals. Uranium is a bit of an outlier though, since although it's very heavy, it's also very soluble in the minerals that form Granite in the earth's crust, so there's more at the surface than you might expect given the early depletion of heavy elements.

Osmium, Iridium and Platinum occur in the mantle.

That's not the total answer either. What about those who are just too lazy to get a job and simply steal instead.

@@psora1 because they are bad people. Plenty of poor people like myself whom don't resort to stealing from others.

@@heinzie5 their fault too.

Yes, fine tuning is a thing. But keep in mind that most organic life is not technological and so has no use for elements beyond H,C,N,O,P,K,S...etc. But yeah even those require an immense amount of "luck?" or whatever. Even just H. Even just a proton. So, nice to meet you.

Alternatively, you could be happy that iron does what iron does, in the abundance that it does it. Imagine if ductile metals were all as rare as rhodium.

@@stdesy Not if You do It the Same way That diamonds Are released. Bring it Here, and Slowly release The gold, And the Price of Gold stabilizes.

Yes you can. Actually scientist are trying to do So. But there Is problem. The bigger the element Is (the more electrons (And protons) it has) the harder it Is for it to be stabel (And when something Is not stable it becames radioactive). The electrons Are So far from nucleus that the positive charge cant reach the negative charge of electrons And So the electrons are not "sticking" on atom very well (they can be removed from atom very easily And thus become radioactive). Elemnts with huge amount of electrons (And protons) Are Called heavy alements And some of them can't live more than 1 second. After one second passes they change to lighter element And So on And So on.

First of all, I agree that people should be paid a living wage, but it’s simplistic to suggest that no one would want more money and be willing to steal to get it. Second, this does not explain why people steal, it explains why people steal catalytic converters. No one with any sense is going to actually think that if we make catalytic converters less valuable or eliminate the need for them altogether, that theft just won’t be a thing anymore. I mean, what a pants-crapping insane notion. “How dare you explain the effect of neutron stars on the Earth’s elemental percentages, now no one will even consider raising the minimum wage!” Do you realize how nuts that sounds?

@@alanhonlunli I would explain it by pointing out the word "recently". The infinity gauntlet is not real. Things don't happen just because you snap your fingers. It takes time for national economic policy to filter down through the economy.

The more humans there are, the more the finite and limited resources have to be shared. Leaving less and less for individual people.

Liberal "no bail" policies now in effect in many major cities take away any negative consequences for the thefts even if caught. Converter thefts have been an issue for decades. However, his chart shows the direct effect these policies have had over the past 2 years or so.

Rare metal exists, rare metal subsequently valuable in society, people steal something that has said rare/valuable metal within it... Or in other words, if a Catalytic Converter didn't have those metals, people wouldn't be stealing (anywhere near as much). But also yes, there are other factors that are causing an increase in the rate of theft, but the root cause is still rare metal = money

You drive a Prius, just straight pipe it.

Yup, we are all actually stardust.

Hey now, you're an all-star...

no wait.......... we ARE the stars

think about the way our solar system was formed. Everything was just dust floating around until eventually that dust starts to coalesce into larger and larger chunks until it creates our terrestrial planets. Additionally, everything was probably insanely hot from constant bombardments by meteors and the different properties of the elements allow them to stay melted longer than surroundings or solidify more quickly relative to surroundings allowing them to group up. Shared properties of the elements under volatile conditions

Density

The other answers are a bit vague, so I’ll say this: atoms don’t always coalesce with like-atoms, but they always coalesce in the most stable and least energetic form they can find. Sometimes that’s with other similar elements, but often it’s just combining with oxygen which is how we find most metals, as oxides. Pretty much all of chemistry is about finding the right situation, the right interactions between elements, such they finally want to combine in a different way. This either means removing some of the lower energy components, or adding in new components which are even lower energy.

If I understand well, it's a force trade off: There are 4 known fundamental forces, from the weakest to the strongest (but with a effect that can apply from the farthest away to the closest away): Gravity (which is actually not a force but a space time deformation but whatever) is the weakest and is visible on big scales (far away things can attract each other but too weak to be easily visible on small scales - though still possible experimentally). Electromagnetic force (force responsible for bonds between atoms, for magnets etc) is stronger but act on shorter distance (like magnets can't attract something millions of kilometers away) Weak nuclear force (force that ties protons and neutrons together in a nucleus) even stronger but act only when proton / neutrons are extremely close so acts on an even smaller scale Strong nuclear force (to tie qwarks together into a single proton or neutron) is the STRONGEST but acts at an even smaller scale when qwarks are really close. And this the 3 "real" forces (so excluding gravity) are all repulsive (except specific conditions), you need to overcome one to let the other one have a chance to be applicable. Squish 2 atoms VERY hard to let a chance for weak nuclear force to act and get another nucleus (because you need to overcome the fact that they repulse each other). Squish them EXTREMELY hard (particle collider) if you want a soup of qwarks that can potentially re-arrange differently. That's my understanding, after watching many videos of that kind, I'm not an expert.

@@tony_mo more or less true, except its still the strong force that ties protons and neutrons together, not the weak force. The weak force is uh... a bit more complicated in that it typically mediates particle decays rather than bonding particles into composites.

Don't worry, extracting it from the converter is such a pain, and costly that even Junk Yard owners of 4K cars don't bother. This video is misleading!
