Within minutes, they had the hood lifted, tools clinking as they assured him they were only tightening a loose part. Two days later, the truth became clear: the car’s engine roared louder than usual, fumes seeped into the cabin, and the fuel gauge dropped fast. Isaac had become the latest Ghanaian to fall victim to catalytic converter theft.
