Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) etching is a fast, safe, and simple process of having a vehicle’s VIN engraved onto its windows using a chemical solution. Once the VIN has been etched on all the windows, a thief must strip and replace every piece of glass in order to profit off the sale of the stolen vehicle or its parts. Doing so is a time-consuming and expensive feat, which deters many thieves from stealing VIN-etched vehicles in the first place. It's one of the most effective means to deter auto theft currently available. CEEO has teamed up with the Albuquerque Police Department (APD) to offer this auto theft prevention service to all members of UNM and the public for FREE. The event will take place in the parking lot of the Student Support and Services Center located at 1155 Avenida Cesar Chavez SE, Albuquerque, NM 87106 (map).
