Security Report -RV Lot Theft

Leisure World Security reports that catalytic converters were stolen from three recreational vehicles parked in the RV Lot, one reported on June 12 and and two on June 18.

The thefts, which were reported to Seal Beach police, were well planned, according to reports. A ladder was found propped on the exterior of LW’s perimeter wall. Unidentified culprits apparently climbed the ladder, removed the spikes on top of the wall and used the ladder of a parked RV to access the lot.

According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, catalytic converter theft claims in 2020 skyrocketed by 325% in a single year. And as of March 2022, certain metals inside catalytic converters can bring as much as $20,000 per ounce.
