Catalytic converter theft doesn't seem to be a thing in Sydney. I certainly don't see an alarmist reports in the local newspapers or on TV.

 OK, that's the Gold Coast, not Sydney.

It's 2023 report, and it does mention such thefts in Sydney as well.
Presumably scrap metal dealers have now been visited by the police and reminded that they have to report being offered that kind of "scrap metal". If you can't sell the catalytic converter, there's not a lot of point in  stealing it.
