With thefts rising, Chula Vista police team with auto shop to engrave catalytic converters [Breaking]
Chula Vista police and a local auto shop teamed up Saturday in a bid to help car owners deter theft of their catalytic converters.
The engraving is akin to putting your name on it, Chula Vista police Sgt. Anthony Molina told OnScene TV. It may not prevent the theft, he said, but “it gives us a chance to actually get these catalytic converters back to somebody if they are stolen.”And, he said, the engraved areas were highlighted with paint to make the engraving highly visible — a warning to the thief that the car part can be traced back to the vehicle.
Molina said thieves can saw off the car part quickly, perhaps within two minutes. “By the time people are calling it in, the thieves are out of the area,” he said.. In San Diego County, there were shy of 400 catalytic converter thefts reported in 2020. That jumped to over 2,000 such thefts last year, according to police officials tracking the crime.
