El Segundo to etch your catalytic converters
I've written a number of times about the rash of catalytic converters that have occurred throughout the South Bay (and the country) in the last year or two.
A while back, El Segundo police held an "Etch N Catch" program to engrave identifying information on the auto parts so that police can tie thieves to specific crimes when they make recoveries.
El Segundo will hold another free service for truck and SUV owners this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Last time, it was only for El Segundo residents, but this time, there's room for more.
For more information and to make an appointment, call 310-524-2200.
If you are unaware, thieves target the catalytic converters on vehicles with high ground clearance because the parts contain precious metals that are worth hundreds and thousands of dollars.

I incorrectly posted a line about third-row seats in this item earlier. That was wrong. Only catalytic converters this time.
