To mark Anti Motor Vehicle Theft day on July 1, Mumbai Police, WIAA and Retaina Group have come together with the motive to reduce the number of vehicle thefts taking place in the city.

Nitin Dossa, Executive Chairman, WIAA said, “We in the process of appointing agents all over - petrol pumps and also at the WIAA office to bring the technique to be implemented.” He further explained that he checked out the procedure by Indian companies which manufacture it but they were not as strong as Retaina group, the UK-based company’s.

Colin Gallagher, Sales Manager, Retaina group demonstrated how etching can be done. A sticker-like substance is applied on the surface of glass or iron and a chemical liquid is applied to the sticker. The sticker is then peeled off after 90 seconds.

“Once the registration number is on the glass through this technique, each mark on the glass takes at least 45 minutes to disappear from the surface.” Etching can also be done with stencil and a machine.

Commissioner of Police, A N Roy inaugurated the technique. The registration number was etched on some police vehicles. Speaking on the occasion, Roy said, “The technique is very easy to use and with its help we are expecting reduction in the number of vehicle thefts.” Further, he appealed that all vehicle owners use at least one device that can prevent vehicle theft.”

The technique will be made available within a couple of months’ time. After the system is made available, the vehicle owner can register a vehicle and get etching done on the vehicle by paying Rs. 500.
