Peel Regional Police are offering a free service that engraves your catalytic convertor with your name and address on the items. By doing this, stolen cats can be identified by Police and it makes it easier to get convictions in Court. READ THIS LINK> Peel police help vehicle owners prevent catalytic converter theft at free event in Mississauga (msn.com) It takes about 20 minutes to engrave the identity information on a vehicle. Replacing a stolen catalytic convertor can cost up to $ 3000.00 on a large SUV with a V8 engine. The larger the engine cubic inch displacement, the more a replacement will cost. Peel Police cover the Ontario cities of Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon, which have a combined population of over one million people. PRP is a very proactive service, with a number of new and interesting ways to reduce crime. JImB.
 

My son recently installed my new cat-con and the metal security cage he made for it.

When thieves and buyers are caught with stolen cat-cons, I don't see how identifying the owner of one of them helps. You don't find piles of cat-cons in a dumpster or come across them in a gutter. If someone's got several of them hidden under his bed or in a storage unit, they're obviously stolen.

But it's a a free service. Can't hurt.

In Calif, all cat-cons are stamped with an ID label, but that's because Californians are prohibited from buying them online or outside the state. California cat-cons cut more emissions than ones from elsewhere...so they say.

ALL of my many tools have my DOB engraved on them. Same with my car rims. I bought a electric engraving pen from H.D. for $19.99 about 30 years ago, and I still use it . JimB.
