Catalytic Question (longish)

2 weeks ago I took my car (2000 2.3lpt) in to the dealer because 3 days before that the IDM died while doing 60mph on a fairly busy highway. I did what all of us 9-5 owners do...got the spare IDM out of the trunk, switched it out and went on my merry way.
So the dealer installed the new IDM and I paid for a software update. I asked about the if the catalytic convertor might be damaged. They checked the codes and nope, everything is fine and I go off again... Except they didnt put the battery cover back on my car and took my good "spare" IDM and trashed it even though I told them the bad one was in the trunk.
Well yesterday my CEL comes on and I have a generic code reader..P0420 which means the cat effiency is below threshold. I called the dealer and they told me that they wouldnt cover the cat because I had more than 80,000 miles on the car (actually 89k right now)
I need some advice and what to do next?
By the way this is Jim Ellis of Marietta (GA)
