There’s other precious metals to go along with the platinum. Found more than one list of the topmost vehicles they are stolen from and F-series trucks where number one along with several hybrid models listed. Is you get a Diesel engine the no worries apparently there’s nothing in those. In 2021 there where like 1900 in all reported then 2022 - 18,000 ,2023-64,000.Top two States where most of this happened was California and Texas.It said Covid caused prices to sore on the metals because unavailability. I’m going by memory on the numbers so rounded them but they’re close. Especially the jump to 64,000.They look for vehicles they can get under easily and hide and they can have them removed quickly. Especially trucks with lifts installed. Those are easiest to remove. If not sold directly to a scrap yard there’s a black market. They’re getting as much as a thousand bucks sometimes.</blockquote>
