he “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star’s boyfriend, Paul “Paulie” Connell, tells Page Six exclusively that police discovered Catania’s smashed car in Linden. “The car was involved in a chase and the occupants of the car crashed into a pole,” Connell says. “We believe there were arrests made when the car finally came to a stop, but not sure of the exact details.” He adds, “The car is totaled. It looks like possibly one of the occupants was injured — or two of them.” Catania, 51, went to see if the thieves had left any of her belongings behind, but Connell reveals there was “nothing left” in the vehicle. “On the flip side, we are currently out car shopping,” Connell says. “She wants to make sure that people know, always lock your cars and keep your key fobs stored in a safe place.” #RHONJ
