Palmdale residents are invited to bring their vehicles to Camacho Mitsubishi (401 Auto Vista Drive, Palmdale CA) and have their license plate numbers engraved onto their catalytic converters, free of charge.

This event is one of the many ways LASD is combating the rising crime of catalytic converter theft. The license plate of your vehicle will be engraved onto your vehicle’s catalytic converter with the hopes of returning your catalytic converter to you, in the event it is stolen.
Your vehicle’s catalytic converter is a device used to reduce toxicity of emissions from an internal combustion engine. It is required by law on every motor vehicle operated in the United States since 1975. It is attached to your exhaust system and is located beneath your vehicle.
Catalytic converters contain expensive precious metals like platinum, palladium and rhodium. These recyclable materials can be easily “scrapped” for a quick profit. Thieves generally target trucks or SUVs because the higher ground clearance that allows for easier access beneath the vehicle. However, sports cars and sedans may also be targeted.
If you are interested in taking advantage of this opportunity to better protect you catalytic converter, please call Palmdale Sheriff’s Station Deputy Sneed to schedule an appointment at 661-272-2587.
