The St. Louis Park police and public works departments will host a catalytic converter theft deterrent marking event Oct. 17, 2 – 6 p.m. at the Municipal Service Center, 7305 Oxford St. Vehicles will be put on a vehicle lift and the catalytic converter will be etched and spray painted by a mechanic. Each participant will receive a window sticker stating the car has a marked catalytic converter.

Interested residents must first complete an event interest form which will be available Sept. 28 from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Those that complete the interest form will be placed into a lottery drawing, where 72 residents will be selected at random to attend the event. Those chosen through the lottery drawing will receive a confirmation email on Oct. 10 with a link to select a time slot to attend the event. Those not selected are encouraged to apply for future marking events, which will be shared through city communications channels.
