This free Bangor event can help you protect your catalytic converter from thieves

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • April 17, 2024

You can reduce the risk of losing your car’s catalytic converter to theft for free next week. Catalytic converters contain valuable precious metals and are fairly simple to remove from cars, making them a popular target for thieves in recent years. Engraving the converter with identifying vehicle information, however, could deter thieves and help you recover the converter if it is stolen. Converter etching will be available for free at Eastern Maine Community College in Bangor from 8 a.m. to noon next Tuesday.
