Reference says 3 to 7 grams, at about $25/gram, it’s actually worth something. Edit: of course, that’s the price per gram of pure refined platinum in a salable format (coins or bars) from a legal source. The best case for this thief is he might get $100 for it, if there’s $200 worth of platinum in it. Probably he’s making $50 or less. Of course, that’s for a few minutes of work, and his risks probably aren’t high. The damage to the car is probably $2,000 or more, when you consider buying parts, dealer installation, repairing the damaged connecting pipe.
