Vin Etching is the process of permanently etching your vehicle identification number (VIN) into the windows of your automobile.  Thieves are less likely to steal a VIN etched vehicle due to the time and money it takes to replace the VIN etched windows. VIN etching may also help you receive a 15% discount on your comprehensive insurance.

Stop by the Becker Police Station to pick up a brochure on VIN Etching.
