Chicago police have teamed up with auto shops in an effort to halt the speed of catalytic converter thefts. Andy Bizurp, who owns Midwest Performance on West Fulton, worked with officers to design a sticker that will be able to track these converters. “This has an acid etching in it,” Bizub said. “Once you apply the sticker, the acid will etch the numbers into the catalytic converter. Those numbers will remain and it will still be traceable.”
Others are expected to follow suit, depending on funds made available by each alderman’s office.
