Re: VIN numbers on the windows of UrQ



Sometimes an alpha numeric code is etched on the glass for security/recovery
purposes. Sometimes it's the VIN. If we do it, we accompany it with a toll
free number to a data base. Upon contact, the registered owner is notified by
telephone call and registered mail. The owners info/address is not obtainable
by the caller. Many insurance companies will discount theft/comprehensive
coverage if this is done to the vehicle (often up to 10-15%). Apparently if a
vehicle is stolen/abandoned salvage yards/police are reluctant to run a
nationwide VIN check, and using a service such as this makes it easier to get
back what you just might not want, by the time some joy-rider has trashed it!
