Effectiveness of VIN etching

How effective is VIN etching?

A state police agency installed a VIN etching system on 130,000 vehicles and then
tracked these vehicles for 9 years. The results are astonishing... Out of 130,000
vehicles that were VIN etched, only four vehicles were stolen. Three out of these
four were abandoned intact within one mile of where they had been stolen.

Thousands of law enforcement agencies throughout the United States have Crime
Prevention Programs that promote VIN etching as a primary measure to deter theft.

VIN Etching has an incredible return on investment.

In any Dollar Value comparison, VIN Etching is one of the most affordable and most
effective methods of preventing vehicle theft.

VIN Etching is Quick and Easy

The etching process is very easy to do. A typical vehicle can be etched in as little
as 15 minutes, and it is possible to etch more than one vehicle at the same time.

VIN Etching is ALWAYS ON

There are no electronic components that can be disarmed, no mechanical components
that can be disabled, and no transmitting device that can be defeated.

VIN etching is a permanent, but subtle. The etching process does not detract from your
vehicle's appearance.
