By adding bright paint, you can create a visible deterrent to alert thieves to move on. This paint also signals law enforcement and recyclers to look deeper for serial numbers or identification marks. By clearly marking your catalytic converter you will be deterring the theft from happening in the first place.

How do you think moving stolen cats works? You show up at a legitimate recycler with a bunch of catalytic converters and the guy running the recycling place is just an absolute buffoon who doesn’t realize the cats are stolen?

No, you go to a sketchy recycler who knows he’s recycling stolen stuff.

Do you think the cops would happen upon a guy with a bunch of catalytic converters and not give him a second look unless they noticed one of the cats was painted? Even cops aren’t that dumb.

You're ignoring the fact that they completely skipped over step 1 in the link you provided. They're not adding any unique ID/number at midas. Just hitting you with krylon and sending you on your way.
