Evansville police arrested 35 year Matthew Gunn on Tuesday and charged him with theft.
Gunn is allegedly responsible for several catalytic converters gone missing.
He was caught on camera at two Evansville businesses.
An investigation led police to a recycling center in Owensboro.
Records show that Gunn had made 34 transactions at the recycling business for the catalytic converters, and had received more than $5,000.
The reason catalytic converters are a hot item is because they contain two precious rare metals, palladium and rhodium.
