Anti-Theft Vehicle Replacement


Window and body panel marking is the most cost-effective theft deterrent available. We use a sticker process that utilizes a chemical solution that etches code numbers which cannot be removed into the windows and body panels on a vehicle. The numbers are then entered into a national database with the customer?s name, address and phone number, as well as the vehicle information. This information is available to law enforcement nationwide.



Vehicle Replacement Anti-Theft is effective because of two primary factors:


Professional thieves will not take the time to replace windows or doors that have been engraved with a traceable code number.

Chop shops do not want to buy vehicles that can be traced by law enforcement through national databases.
