Fair Lawn NJ, the Fair Lawn Police Department recognizes catalytic converter thefts are on the rise. In an effort to help prevent theft and track the thieves and scrap yards in the event of a theft, the Fair Lawn Police Departmen announces a pilot program for Borough residents to have their catalytic converters etched and registered. We are surveying the communities’ level of interest in participating in this program. If sufficient interest is received, the program will move forward and dates will be scheduled. The process consists of an application of a high temperature tamper proof decal combined with acid etching of the vehicle’s catalytic converter(s). For more details on the process to be used, please visit https://www.mastergard.com/catetch-labels

I don’t understand the value of these things.
I just priced a generic replacement for my toyota for $120 at the local auto parts store.
It’s amazing that they have time to do this. Who is paying for this. And what are they going to do for airbags. More airbags are being stolen from cars then converter‘s.
Just another lawless society problem.
If you don’t agressively prosecute minor crimes, the criminals will learn to move on to more serious criminal activity.
Who’s paying for this. Are we paying overtime to the police to do this, please don’t tell me this is what’s going on. Because if that’s what’s going on that’s a pipe dream. And we have an individuals volunteering to do this then I would say maybe.
Yes, and this will Stop the thefts.
What a joke.
