REMINDER: FREE CATALYTIC CONVERTER
THEFT PREVENTION ETCHING EVENT
WHEN: Saturday, July 29, 2023 from 9am to 1pm
WHERE: RPV City Hall – 30940 Hawthorne Blvd.
The theft of catalytic converters has grown considerably
nationwide and become a hot commodity for thieves
because of their value, relative ease to steal (unbolt or
cut out), and lack of identifying markings. The lack of
identification makes it hard to identify victims and
successfully apprehend and prosecute criminals. Thieves
take stolen catalytic converters to metal recyclers who
will pay up to $250 per converter for the precious metals
inside them. Victims, however, will pay an average of
$1000 (or their deductible) to replace it.
As a result, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
will hold an etching event for the residents of Rolling Hills,
Rolling Hills Estates and Rancho Palos Verdes on Saturday,
July 29, 2023 from 9am to 1pm. It is first come, first served…
so please show up early if you would like to take
advantage of this free service.

The budget for Supplemental Traffic Enforcement will be
reviewed by the Traffic Commission on Thursday, July 27,
