Ua pāpā ʻo Houston i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mea hoʻololi catalytic hacked e pale aku i ka ʻaihue

ʻO nā mea hoʻololi Catalytic kahi mea nui i nā kaʻa e kāohi i nā hoʻokuʻu ma muli o nā metala waiwai o loko. Eia naʻe, ma 3,200 ʻoi aku ma mua o 2022 catalytic converters i ʻaihue ʻia ma Houston.

Ua piʻi nui nā poho ma ka ʻāina i nā makahiki ʻelua i hala iho nei, a he ʻoiaʻiʻo loa kēia ma Houston, Texas. ʻO ka mea i hoʻomaka ma ke ʻano he mau haneli ʻaihue i kēlā me kēia makahiki ua piʻi aʻe i nā kaukani, a ke ʻimi nei ka poʻe loio e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i kēlā mau helu. ʻO ka mea ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua pāpā ʻia ka ʻaihue e ke kānāwai, no laila he aha hou aku?

Ma Houston, ua kau ke kūlanakauhale i ke kānāwai e pāpā ana i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā catalytic converters i ʻoki ʻia a ʻoki ʻia.

Ke piʻi nei nā ʻaihue catalytic converter ma Houston

I ka makahiki 2019, ua hōʻike ʻia he 375 mau ʻaihue catalytic converter i nā mākaʻi o Houston. ʻO kēia wale nō ka piko o ka hau hau no ka mea i ka makahiki aʻe, ua piʻi ka nui o nā ʻaihue ma luna o 1,400 i 2020 a me 7,800 i 2021. I kēia manawa, me ʻelima mau mahina a hiki i 2022, ʻoi aku ma mua o 3,200 poʻe i hōʻike i ka ʻaihue catalytic converter ma Houston.

Ma lalo o ke kānāwai hou, ʻo ka mea nona ka catalytic converter i ʻoki ʻia mai kahi kaʻa ma mua o ka wehe ʻia ʻana, e hoʻopiʻi ʻia me ka Class C misdemeanor no kēlā me kēia nona ia.

ʻAʻole kēia ka manawa mua i hoʻāʻo ai ke kūlanakauhale e ʻoki i nā ʻāpana ʻaihue. I ka makahiki 2021, ua kauoha nā luna kānāwai kūloko i nā mea hana hou e hoʻolako i ka makahiki, hana, hoʻohālike, a me VIN o ke kaʻa kahi i loaʻa ai ka catalytic converter i kēlā me kēia manawa i kūʻai ʻia. Hoʻopaʻa pū nā lula kūloko i ka helu o nā mea hoʻololi i kūʻai ʻia mai hoʻokahi kanaka i hoʻokahi i kēlā me kēia lā.

No ke aha ke kumu nui o kēia mau ʻōnaehana hoʻopau i ka ʻaihue?

ʻAe, i loko o ka catalytic converter he kumu honeycomb maikaʻi me ka hui ʻana o nā metala makamae i hoʻohana ʻia e hōʻemi i nā hoʻokuʻu. Hoʻopili kēia mau metala me nā kinoea ʻino i hana ʻia ma ke ʻano he hopena o ke kaʻina puhi ahi i loko o ka ʻenekini, a i ka hele ʻana o nā kinoea hoʻopau i loko o ka catalytic converter, hoʻemi kēia mau mea i nā kinoea a emi iki ka pōʻino i ke kaiapuni.

ʻO ka mea kūikawā, ʻo kēia mau metala he platinum, palladium, a me rhodium, a pono kēia mau metala i ka loli nui. He $32 ka grama ka Platinum, he $74 ka palladium, a ʻoi aku ke kaumaha o ka rhodium ma luna o $570. ʻAʻole pono e ʻōlelo ʻia, he waiwai nui kēia puʻupuʻu hoʻokuʻu hoʻokuʻu liʻiliʻi no ka metala ʻōpala. Hoʻolilo kēia mau metala makamae i nā mea hoʻololi i pahuhopu nui no ka poʻe ʻaihue e ʻimi nei e loaʻa kālā wikiwiki, no laila ka piʻi ʻana o ka ʻaihue i nā makahiki i hala.

No ka mea kūʻai maʻamau, he hoʻoholo koʻikoʻi ka transducer ʻaihue ʻaʻole i uhi ʻia e ka ʻinikua kaʻa kumu. Manaʻo ka National Crime Bureau ʻo ke kumukūʻai no ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka wā o ka ʻaihue e hiki ke piʻi mai $1,000 a i $3,000.

ʻOiai e pili wale ana nā kānāwai o Houston i loko o nā palena o ke kūlanakauhale, he ʻanuʻu nō ia i ke ala kūpono i ka wā e hiki ai ke pale i ka pilikia hewa nui o ka ʻaihue catalytic converter. Ke ʻike ʻia nei inā pono a ʻaʻole paha.
