Had my catalytic converter stolen from my toyota prius a while ago. Got me wondering, do thief steal parts of electric vehicles and what would they go for?

The most expensive thing they can easily access is the wheels and tires. The most expensive thing they might be able to get to under the car is the battery pack, but good luck dragging that out without anybody noticing.
No, EVs don’t have commonly stolen items like that. The most value-dense item in an EV would be the battery or maybe drive motor(s), and either one of those is going to be a major challenge to remove in a parking lot in a minute or less. TBH, the most valuable easy-to-steal parts of EV are probably the wheels/tires.
Whatever unscrupulous people will fence.
