Svlandscape,
As long as the welded letters had some penetration into the base-metal, you or the police should be able to make them re-appear. One method that could be used involves polishing the surface and using a special etching compound to define the edges of the weld metal from the base metal. Some information on the process is in the following link; What etchant do I use for ... ? - AWS (welding) Code Issues FAQ - Eng-Tips
Hope it helps,
K.N.
