From APD - VIN Etching Event, Saturday August 24 @ Coronado, Great Auto Theft Prevention!

Vehicle Identification Number Window Etching Event

Window etching of your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is an excellent deterrent to auto theft.  In a matter of minutes the VIN can be permanently fixed in a corner of each window.  Placing the VIN on each window can discourage thieves from dismantling your automobile and reselling the parts, which is one of the primary reasons our vehicles are stolen.  

The next VIN Etching Event, sponsored by the Albuquerque Police Department, is scheduled for the following date, time and location.

Saturday, August 24, 2013
9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Coronado Center
6600 Menaul Blvd. NE
Southeast corner of Parking Lot
(Louisiana side)

The window etching is free.  Citizens must provide current vehicle registration.
