Not a car guy here...is there a reason you would specifically steal that part? Is it like particularly valuable?

Where does the Lamborghini have space to stow a jack?

And how did a couple of blokes get out and then back in (with a jack and cat) in under 5 minutes?

And aren't they worried about getting it dirty inside?

The catalytic converter has trace amounts of very rare metals in it, it can be sold for a few hundred €. It is also quite easy to steal as the metal is thin and easy to cut through

There is actually a fair amount of precious metal inside of them like platinum, at least enough to make them worth a few hundred bucks at a scrap yard depending on the brand. Toyota ones are especially expensive

Here is info most don't know. 90% of super expensive cars you see are rentals or leases. There are even time share programs for them. These guys did not go out and buy a lambo SUV with cat theft money. Good chance it was rentals or leased by one person they reported stolen or using stolen Id.
