Elk Grove Police, Jiffy Lube Offer Free Catalytic Converter Etching

October 17, 2014 |

The Elk Grove Police Department is partnering with Jiffy Lube to host two free catalytic converter etching events.  The events will take place at Jiffy Lube (9611 Auto Center Drive in Elk Grove) on Thursday, October 23 from 5 to 7 p.m. and Sunday, November 2 from 12 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.  

During the "Etch and Catch" event, your vehicle's license plate number will be etched onto your catalytic converter(s). The etching may deter thieves from stealing your converter.  

The presence of license plate numbers on catalytic converters can also provide law enforcement with the information needed to identify stolen property, contact victims, and apprehend criminals.  This free "Etch and Catch"  event is open to residents of all cities.
