Detectives: NC man killed when jack failed during catalytic converter theft attemp

ZEBULON, Wake County — A North Carolina sheriff’s office is investigating the death of a man believed to have been killed when a jack malfunctioned while he was trying to steal a catalytic converter.
The Wake County Sheriff’s Office said Joshua Diehl, 50, was found pinned under a disabled car on Monday near Zebulon by a tow truck driver who had been sent to US 64 and Debnam Road to remove the car.
Investigators said they are not sure how long Diehl may have been under the car before he was found, but the owner of the vehicle said she had a flat tire Sunday night and called a friend to pick her up at about 10 p.m.
Sometime after the car’s owner was picked up, officials said Diehl discovered the disabled vehicle and began the process of stealing the valuable car part.
“Unfortunately, these types of thefts are on the rise,” Wake County Sheriff Gerald Baker said. “This is a national problem, partly due to the increased value of the precious metals in the part.”
According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, catalytic converter thefts have increased since March of 2020, the start of the global pandemic, and those who become victims of these thefts face repair bills up to $3,000.
Wake County Investigators continue to determine if Diehl is connected to similar reports of catalytic converter thefts in the area.

STAFF REPORTS•Fri, Dec 03, 2021
Since September 27, 2021, the Nash County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division has been investigating several Breaking or Entering and Larcenies of logging equipment from Asplundh Tree Experts LLC on South Old Franklin Road. In this case, the suspect stole approximately $30,000 worth of equipment from the business.
After months of investigation into this crime, Nash County Investigators were led to aresidence in the 12200 block of Anderson Rd, Spring Hope. Probable Cause was established that one of the residents of this house was involved in the crime, and that some of the stolen property was located at this residence.
A search warrant was obtained and executed at the residence. Investigators were able to recover numerous items that were stolen during this breaking or entering, including an Echo Weed Eater that was reported stolen by a business in Zebulon, NC in October.
Joshua Larry Diehl was arrested at the residence and has been charged with 7 counts of Felony Breaking or Entering a Motor Vehicle, Felony Larceny of Motor Vehicle Parts, Injure Property by Obtaining Nonferrous Metals, Possess Stolen Goods, and Possess Marijuana Up to ½ Ounce by the Nash County Sheriff’s Office.
Joshua Diehl received a $50,000 secured bond and was booked into the Nash County Detention Facility. Diehl has since made bond and been released.

That could be a really bad way to die. If there were just the right amount of force on your chest, it might take an hour to suffocate. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

who says harbor freight jack stands are bad?
I read that painting your CC with a heat resistant fluorescent paint would deter thefts. The recycling place would know it was stolen and the thief doesn't want to take the time to get the paint off.

They use a battery powered Sawzall. I have used a Sawzall quite a bit, in legal fashion doing house carpentry, and a Sawzall is a real badass tool .Get a metal cutting blade and you are off to the races!

Doubt it was on a jack stand. Probably just a crappy floor jack that would creep down slowly...or it just slipped off.

Feel sorry for the vehicle owner. They have to navigate the tricky waters of suing a dead person. Found the Road Scholar. It's his mugshot from an arrest for theft from way back in December. Mountain Men ain't gonna be the same without Eustace.

Sometimes nature is much better at this business of justice than is our legal system.
