While not as common as in hybrid cars e.g., Prius, converter thefts are increasing, particularly in:

Lahore

Islamabad

Karachi
Because even small converters contain valuable metals like platinum, which fetch high prices. Thieves typically target cars parked overnight in:

Dark residential areas

Poorly guarded public lots
