'Justice served': Tow truck driver turns vigilante when thieving kids start stealing catalytic converters, ends up towing their car straight to the junkyard

This tow truck driver worked closely with local law enforcement after getting the catalytic converters stolen out of his car, converting thievery into cold, hard justice. 

There's nothing worse than the sinking feeling in your gut when your car won't start. Usually occurring on the worst mornings–as you're running late, spilling your coffee, and cursing the sunrise–the sickening click click click of the ignition can send any driver into a spiral. Knowing you may have a pricey repair on the horizon only gets compounded when you discover that your catalytic converter has been stolen. Oof. But when the tow truck driver in our next story noticed that a crucial component of his car was missing, he decided to get even. 

Catching a couple of neighborhood kids on camera, the man decided to do some vigilante work of his own, tracking down the thugs, finding their sketchy, unregistered vehicle, and giving them a complimentary tow to the junkyard. Keep scrolling for this satisfying tale of revenge.
