Not a car guy here...is there a reason you would specifically steal that part? Is it like particularly valuable?

There is actually a fair amount of precious metal inside of them like platinum, at least enough to make them worth a few hundred bucks at a scrap yard depending on the brand. Toyota ones are especially expensive

The catalytic converter has trace amounts of very rare metals in it, it can be sold for a few hundred €. It is also quite easy to steal as the metal is thin and easy to cut through
