Here's the text of the article: "A man attempting to steal a catalytic converter in Southern California was killed after the driver of the vehicle he tried to steal from ran him over, authorities say. The incident occurred in a retail parking lot Tuesday night in the city of Palmdale, about 35 miles north of Los Angeles, according to a news release from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Deputies arrived on the scene and found a 4x4 Ford Excursion partially backed out of one of the parking spots, another vehicle next to it, and an unidentified man lying on the ground. Authorities said a woman was asleep in the Ford Excursion when another vehicle with two men and two women pulled up next to it. One of the men exited the other vehicle and began to saw off the catalytic converter from the Ford Excursion. The suspect who was run over was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The three other individuals in the other vehicle were detained."
