Someone brought this listing to the Stone County Sheriff’s Office, where this man lives, and authorities were able to get a warrant of the man’s home.

Missouri authorities said they seized 48 grams of meth and a handgun from the home.

“Sorry folks, his catalytic converters are not for sale right now. Take note, if you are selling items on social media, make sure your drugs are not in the background!” wrote Stone County Sheriff Raider in a Facebook post.
