Several auto-repair shops are offering to inscribe catalytic converters in hopes of thwarting thieves under a new, free program dubbed 'Etch and Protect' that was unveiled Monday by San Jose police.
"Just cut right here," said the mechanic, who minutes later inscribed the license plate number - and a San Jose police star - on the catalytic converter.
"We really wanted to work with the San Jose Police Department and just help reduce this high risk payout that people are going through," Stapp said. The thieves, meanwhile, are hoping to get rich. Catalytic converters, which control exhaust emissions, contain palladium and rhodium, metals that are now more valuable than gold.Camarillo says the program is being offered at two other locations, Capitol Honda at 745 Capitol Expressway and SpeeDee-Midas at 1825 E. Capitol Expressway.
