Keeping your car in one piece isn't always easy, especially with catalytic converter thieves - but Brooklyn officials are looking to help.

Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez teamed up with state Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton to host a free event in Manhattan Beach on Friday.

Brooklyn residents were able to get their car's catalytic converters registered in an NYPD database known as "Cat-Guard."

The database helps police track down stolen converters and get the converter thief in handcuffs.
