Catalytic converter thefts have been common around Southern California and according to the Auto Club, it's only getting worse.
This week they are offering etching of vehicle identification numbers onto catalytic converters to help warn off thefts. The etching is free for members at nearly 20 different locations in Los Angeles and Orange counties.
