FREE Tailgate Etching Event by OC Sheriff

Protect your tailgate and deter theft for FREE.

Since tailgate thefts are on the rise, we are hosting another FREE Vehicle Etching Event in Lake Forest! Our deputies will laser-etch your pickup truck tailgate with your vehicle’s VIN at no cost. If a stolen tailgate is ever recovered, the engraved VIN helps us identify the property and who’s in possession of it.
