The "Watch Your Car" Auto Theft Prevention Program of New York.

State offers two methods that aid in dettering vehicle theft: VIN etching and voluntary vehicle registration. With VIN etching, the Vehicle Identification Number is acid etched into each window.This is a deterrent against auto theft because the etched VIN number cannot be removed or altered without damaging the window. The owner of the vehicle may also receive a 2-5 percent on auto insurance premiums.
