Full Notification

The Boxborough Police Department, in conjunction with the Governors Auto Theft Strike Force, a unit of the Massachusetts State Police, will be sponsoring a VIN Etching program on Saturday, October 27th, 2012 from 9 am to 2 pm at the Boxborough Fire station at 502 Massachusetts Ave. in Boxborough (exit 28 off of I-495).

The glass etching entails chemically etching the cars’ vehicle identification number on all windows including sunroofs and T-Tops. The etching will enable the vehicle owner to receive a discount of 15% or more on their comprehensive auto insurance. You will be given a certificate to give to your insurance company. There is a one-time charge of $10 (cash only) for the etching which covers the Governors Auto Theft Strike Forces expense for the program. You do not have to be the owner of the vehicle to have the car etched. However, you must have the vehicle’s valid registration in order to participate in the program. The entire process should take only 5 to 10 minutes from start to finish. No appointment is necessary. Etching will be done on a first-come first-served basis. You do not have to be a Boxborough resident to participate. For more information, please call Program Coordinator Pamela Surette, of the Governors Auto Theft Strike Force, at 781-393-1201.
