(Hudson Lake, IN) - Catalytic converter thieves have targeted an area food truck business.

 

Digzy Dogz & Grill, based out of Hudson Lake, had converters stolen from three different vehicles recently, just as food truck season is ready to get rolling.

 

Digzy Dogz owner Jason Kazen said he noticed the theft a few weeks ago. "I go to start my truck," he said, "and it sounded like a big fat Harley. And I go, 'that ain't right.'" According to Kazen, thieves stripped converters from his box truck, an F-250 pickup, and a Jeep Cherokee. 

 

Luckily, Digzy’s food truck was parked at its regular location at the corner of US 20 and SR 39. "It sits right across from the Family Express, where the Sheriffs like to sit there all the time, so I feel like my truck up here in La Porte is very safe."

 

But according to Kazen, the loss has limited his business travelling options just a bit. "My box truck is out of commission," he said. "That's the truck that tails my food truck when we have bigger events."

 

Late last week, catalytic converters were stolen in two other separate incidents between La Porte and Michigan City.
