Window Identification System
A system under which the motor vehicle
identification number (VIN) is permanently marked on at least two windows of the
motor vehicle other than the small vent windows
Data Dots
Data Dots are the world's smallest state-of-the-art
identification technology, the size of a grain of sand. Each
kit contains 100's of tiny microdots each encoded with a
unique security code registered to a vehicle owner. Each Dot
is applied using a specially made adhesive and can be placed
on every part of a vehicle including interior and exterior
panels, stereo and engine. Data Dots are then permanently
attached; they cannot be located easily other than when
using a black light as the glue has an ultra-violet trace.
Warning labels are then placed on the outside of the
vehicle, advising a would be thief that the car is protected
with the Identification System making it "Too Hot to
Handle."
