Legendary protection against theft and theft!
LITEX marking complies with GOST for additional. marking the car with a VIN number, passed all the necessary tests, was approved by the expert commission of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation and included in the list of operational and technical means of the Main Directorate of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Russian Federation. 💪

⚠️Dear motorists, in view of the increasing theft of side mirrors, headlights and other expensive elements from cars, the LITEX Company, together with the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Russian Federation, recommends that car owners, in order to prevent theft and misappropriation of vehicles, not leave their car unattended, and also, in order to prevent and prevent theft of individual components of the car and to facilitate/accelerate the search for stolen property, apply the LITEX marking in advance.
If there is a LITEX mark, Insurance Companies provide discounts on CASCO insurance and do not reduce payments for “client inaction” to protect the car!

☝🏻LITEX tags comply with GOST and represent the VIN code of the car, consisting of 8 extreme unique characters (approved by the standard) and are made by sandblasting, they cannot be polished or reduced with any acids or laser, unlike tags applied using hydrofluoric acid based pastes! Manual engraving is not beautiful, and laser engraving does not go so deep, thereby allowing you to change the number with the same laser, plus it is more expensive and is performed only on dismantled elements. The service life of LITKES tags is not limited, and therefore there are no options!
Visible marks are clearly visible, dry quickly on wet glass, and are visible in the dark.
Invisible marks are visible only in ultraviolet light.

Car theft is a fairly common phenomenon that can await every car owner. And car theft occurs not only among owners of expensive cars, but also among owners of middle-class cars.

According to statistics, about 30% of cars that were stolen did not have minimal security measures, even such as an alarm. However, according to statistics, cars with anti-theft markings are stolen three times less often, and more than 80% of cases of theft of a car with marked glass ends in detection and return to the owner.

How to protect yourself from theft and theft of spare parts

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

As practice shows, anti-theft marking shows itself to be a much better means of protection than other electronic means of protection. Although there is no protection that can guarantee absolute safety against car theft.
To maximally protect your car from theft, you should use combined protection methods, but do not forget that the alarm and additional locks can be deactivated within a few minutes.

The best solution to solve the problem is anti-theft marking of the car and its windows. This method of protection has been used in European countries for quite a long time and has proven itself to be unique. This protection is an excellent replacement for expensive, ultra-sensitive alarms and constant parking fees. If we compare alarms that can only help at the time of theft, anti-theft markings work for the owner of the car after the moment when the car has already been stolen.

Also, car marking and anti-theft marking of glass provide protection against theft of car parts, or their replacement. This makes it easy to find your parts, even when they have already been installed on another car, or put up for sale on the market. It is impossible to remove markings from car windows; this requires replacing the glass. This does not play into the hands of car thieves, since selling a car requires replacing all the glass, and this costs effort, time, money and skills. Since hijackers are well aware of these factors, for them such protective measures are unnecessary problems and an unjustified risk.

More about labeling

Car marking is similar to glass engraving and its purpose is to put letters and numbers on the glass element that are in the car, this allows you to turn the car into an unattractive one for theft. The use of engravings for glass does not create residual stresses in the glass and does not contribute to the destruction of glass from impacts. Also, the appearance of the car remains unchanged after marking is applied, but the marking is easy to see for people who are involved in theft. This unique method of vehicle identification allows using special devices to apply markings to the coating of components, parts, and assemblies using mechanical or chemical action. The applied symbols are given strictly individually and relate only to one car.

Anti-theft marking of car parts is applied with a special composition in the form of dots. The dots are applied with special paint and not knocked out, so it won’t be possible to knock out other numbers. Such points can be metal or polymer plates, each having a diameter of half a centimeter. Each mark has identifying numbers and letters. Information about the markings and the car is sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and European databases. The databases are built in such a way that only the owners can make changes to it, since they have their own access code. The information contained in the marking is compared with general information about the owner.

Since when registering or deregistering a car, traffic police officers can easily see whether the markings correspond to the documents, the same is true at any post. This makes the car absolutely unprofitable, since for its successful sale it will be necessary to replace almost all expensive parts. Selling individual parts is a rather risky business. The same glass with a stolen VIN code creates a problem for the person who bought it, because the marked glass for the thief will be immediately damaged, after which the car automatically loses part of its value. Since modern cars have laminated glass, it is not possible to quickly replace them.

In addition, numbered engine parts, body parts and other small and expensive elements reduce the car’s prospects several times as a stolen vehicle. This risk is no longer worth the money, since stolen parts are difficult to resell, and the reseller will pay a very low price for them due to the risk. When a person who bought a marked, stolen part is caught with it at the post, he is obliged to report where he purchased it, otherwise a case will be opened against him as an accomplice. Thus, having a mark on the part, the chain quickly opens and through the seller the person who stole the hose is found.

There are two types of car markings

Hidden car markings make it possible to identify the car and its components. When a car or parts are stolen, its code can act as a special feature of the car.

Visible marking of the car - parts with a high price are marked with their VIN code, this makes it possible
The ability to create a visible and permanent marking. When headlights, mirrors, windows and other visible elements are marked, it does not limit the driver’s view in any way, but is clearly visible to car thieves.

Since the marking is made with the expectation that it cannot be changed. If sanded, white squares will appear on the surface, which can be seen quite clearly without looking closely. The main advantage of anti-theft marking of parts is its low price, which allows you to mark almost every element of the car. Often, anti-theft markings make it possible to receive discounts on car insurance. This is due to the fact that insurance companies understand the reduced risk of theft of a protected vehicle and are able to offer lower insurance rates.

This type of protection has some undeniable advantages.

• A fairly reliable type of protection that does not require maintenance and has an unlimited shelf life.
• Relatively low price for car engraving when compared with the purchase and installation of an alarm system.
• It takes very little time to apply the markings.
• There is no interference with the appearance of the car, which gives an aesthetic appearance and does not involve disassembling parts.
• The engraving is not displayed in any way. When removed, a special mark remains on the spare part.
• The engraving is visible to car thieves, which significantly reduces the chances of theft of a marked car.
• People involved in car theft try to spend as little time as possible with the car and spend money on it, and the choice is made on those cars with which there will be the least number of complications.

It becomes clear that this type of protection, when combined with other protections, can provide an excellent guarantee against ignoring the owner’s car. It will be much easier for the thief to look for another car than to take risks for a car that will cost a penny on the black market. You shouldn’t neglect your protective equipment, but you shouldn’t rely on them entirely either. No single protection can guarantee 100% protection against car theft, especially if the theft is carried out by professionals.

Your questions:

What do you recommend to reliably protect your car from theft?

According to experts at installation centers, professional protection against car theft is guaranteed by a narrowly targeted, comprehensive solution, depending on the make and model of the car, i.e. The more expensive the car, the more complex the electronic components, the more popular the car among end customers, the more complex and expensive the comprehensive solution for protecting the car from theft. The comprehensive solution will include: a security and service unit (car alarm), devices for physical resistance to theft (hood locks, automatic transmissions, door pins, safes, reservations), GPS-GLONASS bookmarks, as well as special crawlers, immobilizers and additional driver authorization lines. CASCO insurance will not interfere with a comprehensive solution of varying degrees of complexity and cost.

These are well-known recommendations and ordinary people understand them to one degree or another, we will not go into details, the main thing in these principles is difficulty (delaying time) and physical resistance to car theft. Let's say a few words about the additional (anti-theft) LITEX marking, which prevents theft at the initial stage of theft, at the preparation stage, in other words: the attackers will not even touch the car and there will be no need to restore the car after an unsuccessful theft.

Additional (anti-theft) markings do not emit sound signals and do not block anything in the car. Marking simply makes it unprofitable for professional criminals to steal a car.

Before selling a marked car, you will need to replace and destroy visible and invisible additional tags of the original vin number. Firstly, this will take a lot of time. Secondly, it is expensive and this is the attackers’ personal money, which will have to be invested, but there were no plans for this. Thirdly, the thief will not be sure that he has found, gotten rid of, and no other additional marks will be found. Based on the only remaining additional VIN tag of the car, the true owner is determined and the “seller” is sent to prison. But the marking itself, of course, will not protect against fools and drunkards who just want to take a ride in stupidity.

Check out our calculator, which will clearly show how the likelihood of a theft attempt and the amount of money invested in car theft protection are combined.

Choose a comprehensive solution for anti-theft protection in such a way that the ratio of cost and required result over the established period of vehicle operation actually corresponds to financial costs and expectations.

Why don't criminals contact marked cars?

After marking, the car becomes unmarketable; auto repair shops and buyers of stolen goods will not accept such a car for resale without a title, or documents confirming ownership and disposal. These people don’t need unnecessary problems, because at the next check (one mark on the marked part, the true owner is identified and the investigative process begins). If an attacker is detained while opening or driving a stolen car - the article "theft without the purpose of theft" - the punishment is a suspended sentence, and if a marked car or marked parts are found in the garage - already theft and a specific sentence for the owner of the garage!

If attackers are looking for a car to order (usually a new one and a class higher than the budget one), then a car additionally marked with its original vin number will not be of interest to them, because The customer will 100% not like this car, he will have unnecessary questions about the markings, plus marked spare parts (separately or on the car) will be on the wanted list. Changing double-glazed windows and optics is not difficult, but finding glass that matches the year of manufacture of the car is already problematic and doing the job carefully is also a problem. For criminals, this is an additional financial investment, an increase in the terms of “legalization” and an additional risk of being “exposed” - the obvious conclusion is that criminals will immediately “bypass” a marked car.

What is the difference between the LITEX marking and other types of anti-theft systems?

Having taken possession of the car, the attackers interrupt the body and engine numbers (if the engine number is indicated in the title, it is checked during registration) or simply get rid of the cylinder block. After such “manipulations,” it is impossible to establish who actually owned the car. Therefore, the main task of LITEX marking is to make it difficult for attackers to “depersonalize” the car. Make car theft economically unprofitable. The thief will need to replace the elements of such a car marked with the vin number.

Professional protection against car theft is guaranteed only by a narrowly focused, comprehensive solution (the more expensive the car, the more complex the electronics, the more popular the car among end customers, the more complex and expensive the comprehensive solution for protecting a car against theft). The elements of a comprehensive anti-theft solution do not duplicate, but complement each other.

The advantage of LITEX anti-theft marking over other anti-theft means and methods is that LITEX marking makes the very fact of theft economically unprofitable, so cars with LITEX marking, in principle, at the initial stage, do not come to the attention of criminals (such cars are not taken pencil")!

The LITEX anti-theft complex includes sandblasting marking of glass, auto marking of the car interior (invisible marks affixed with a marker with invisible ink), as well as sandblasting marking of other car parts, which are necessarily easily removable and easily accessible for theft of side mirrors, headlights, running lights and rear lanterns

Reliable anti-theft systems consist of electronic and mechanical means that prevent theft, as well as engraving of glass with a vin number, made in accordance with GOST R-51980-2002. Engraving of auto glass using the LITEX sandblasting method has passed the necessary tests, received an expert opinion and approval from the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. Test conclusion No. 5-96 of the Glass Institute JSC GIS confirms that the Litex marking does not reduce the strength properties and cannot lead to premature destruction of tempered glass, laminated glass, as well as lenses for car headlights.

Why are there stickers on the windows of a marked car? Is it possible not to glue them?

The LITEX anti-theft marking complex includes three bright stickers (info-stickers) that warn that the car is marked. Stickers are applied to the inside of the car. One sticker is attached to the lower right corner of the windshield. The other two stickers have a see-through window that indicates visible markings on the driver's and front passenger's front side windows.

According to our research, the presence of stickers will warn a professional thief about the presence of LITEX markings from a distance of 10-12 meters (without stickers, the distance is 2-4 meters). In addition, the stickers will also warn intruders who steal the side mirrors or headlights of a car; in these cases, it is important to warn the intruder as early as possible about the presence of additional markings on the car in order to prevent them from approaching the car closer.

Each client weighs the aspects of car operation himself and decides whether to stick stickers or not.

What features should you pay attention to when selling a car labeled LITEX?

Firstly, feel free to use the argument of having the LITEX anti-theft marking as a way to strengthen your position in bargaining for the cost of the car. In the eyes of new buyers, regardless of whether they know anything about the LITEX marking or not, the presence of the LITEX marking firmly establishes in the buyer’s mind that the seller “bought the car for himself,” since only technically savvy, competent people who take such steps and the car is treated accordingly; They undergo the necessary maintenance on time, are caring, scrupulous in their attitude towards the car, and are also careful in driving. Say that the marking contains a certificate kit and a certificate, and this is the only proven way to protect a car from theft; the marking will protect even from those ingenious types of theft that have not yet appeared.

For a car buyer who is already aware and aware of the advantages of the LITEX anti-theft marking, the very presence of the LITEX marking will also indicate additional financial investments of the previous owner in the car, i.e. our marking strengthens the financial position of the seller, increasing the value of the car. Make sure for yourself that car sellers indicate the presence of LITEX markings on cars, follow the links and look at filtered ads on the popular private classifieds service using the search words litEx and litEx (customers write our name in two ways, changing the letter “E” to “E”) .

Secondly, if during the period of operation there was a loss of visible marks (accident, theft or other reasons), take care of restoration, otherwise it will prompt the buyer to replace the car’s elements in the past, the reason for this replacement may be unreasonably exaggerated by the buyer and there will be distrust in the seller.

Third, along with the car, give the new owner a copy or original of the LITEX customer account card (form). Please comment that in the LITEX information base, for further full functioning of the protection, a change of owner is required. If the new owner does not do this, then in the event of theft or theft of elements, he will not have any option to confirm the legal fact of the presence of the LITEX marking on the car, not on paper, not when the investigative authorities contact our company with a request for confirmation.

If the previous owner paid for an extended warranty package for the second and subsequent years of car ownership, then the procedure for changing the owner, at the same LITEX representative, will be free, if the LITEX marking complex was carried out with a standard annual warranty, then the procedure for changing the owner is paid, check the cost at the nearest representative LITEX.

Automatically, the new car owner receives a standard one-year guarantee for the restoration of tags in the event of loss and a three-fold refund of the money spent on labeling (when ordering additional paid services at the time of inspection of the car during the process of changing ownership).

What does the LITEX anti-theft marking complex include?

Anti-theft marking "LITEX" is a set of measures aimed at reducing the likelihood of theft (hijacking) of vehicles and maximizing the effectiveness of search efforts in the event of theft, identification and return to the owner.

The LITEX anti-theft marking complex includes:

• applying the engraving method of the last 8 characters of the car body number on the glass, headlights, block headlights with direction indicators, rear block lights;
• applying the same number in the form of marks invisible to the naked eye on parts in the engine compartment, interior and trunk of the car;
• designation of visible markings on the front side windows with bright stickers (info stickers) warning that the car is marked;
• entering accounting information for each marked vehicle into the all-Russian electronic database administered by the LITEX Company;
• carrying out a set of measures aimed at searching for a marked car when confirming the fact of theft, identifying and promptly returning the car to the owner;
• annual guarantees for the restoration of lost tags, as well as a refund of three times the amount for services in case of car theft;
• optional: a gift set for UV marking (flashlight and marker), as well as a VIP card of a LITEX club member with a lifetime discount of up to 35% and other privileges of our partners, measurements of the level of contamination of the car interior with formaldehyde compounds, as well as identification of increased radioactive background of the car, checking for tracking and wiretapping sensors.

What guarantees does LITEX provide?

• Saving information about the marked car in the regional and All-Russian information database, which guarantees confirmation of information about the owner of the marked car and speeds up the search for the car in Russia and the CIS, using the legal aspect of the LITEX information base.
• Refund to the client three times the cost of marking in case of theft of a marked car.
• Free restoration of visible and invisible tags in case of loss due to an accident or other reason.

Why mark a car if you have a CASCO policy?

Some car owners say: “Anti-theft markings and other methods of protection against theft are not needed if the car is insured under CASCO, the insurance will compensate for financial losses in the event of theft!”

Let's count together:

The conditional car was bought for 1 million rubles. We insured under CASCO at 8.5%. (Insurance premium 85 thousand rubles) and compulsory motor liability insurance (5 thousand rubles).

We installed additional equipment (according to the average bill) in the amount of 110 thousand rubles. (wheels with winter tires, tinting, mats, protection, mudguards, driver's kit, multimedia, etc.).

TOTAL the car at the start cost 1.2 million.

In the first year, according to the rules of insurers, the car loses 15-18% in price (with 3-5% in the first month and 3% in the second month); in subsequent years, the price automatically decreases by 1% per month, i.e. e. at least 12% per year (depending on the car brand, up to 20% per year).

At the same rates, the amount of payment in case of car theft is calculated: if the “swallow” is taken away from the yard the next day after purchase, then instead of 1.2 million, the car owner will receive 950 thousand rubles. because the:

• Insurers consider an incomplete month (even 1 day) as a full month (this is minus 50 thousand rubles);
• The paid insurance amount is not refundable. If suddenly the car owner did not have time to make the second installment (this is, for example, installment plans and franchise schemes), it is deducted from the amount of the insurance payment (in our case it is minus 85 thousand rubles);
• additional equipment, of course, was not insured (otherwise the policy would have been more expensive), and in this case you should not count on compensation (another minus 110 thousand plus).
• OSAGO will also not return the full amount immediately. Moreover, next year, the tax office will require you to pay transport tax for the time you use the car (at least for a month).

Thus, the losses, despite CASCO insurance, will amount to 250 thousand rubles. And if, say, the car is stolen after 3.5 months. This amount will increase to 300 thousand.

• If a car is purchased on credit, the interest paid on the loan is added to the losses.
• The amount of the insurance payment, although reduced, will be returned, but not earlier than after 2 months (usually 2.5 - 3 months).

Of course, you need to insure both a new and used car.

Assess the risks correctly and apply LITEX anti-theft markings. Statistics show that the probability of theft of a car marked LITEX is close to zero. And the likelihood that the car will be found quickly if it is stolen increases many times over.

We offer you to look confidently into the future and purchase a CASCO insurance policy at a discount. When insuring your car under CASCO with some of our partners, you will receive the LITEX marking for free!

I’m buying a car with the LITEX marking on it, what recommendations can you give?

First, ask the owner for a LITEX client account card (form).

Secondly, after receiving the registration license plate and vehicle registration certificate, contact the nearest LITEX representative office and make an appointment. Present the car for inspection, show the registration card (if available) and re-register the customer registration card (change of owner).

The marker will check the presence of visible and invisible tags and stickers on the car, and offer, if necessary, to restore the missing lost tags. He will take the client’s old registration card (or a copy) and, based on the vehicle registration certificate, issue a new LITEX registration card (form).

Thus, the owner becomes newly registered with reference to the car and the number of the old form. Information about labeling is entered into the Federal LITEX information database. Automatically, the new car owner receives a special one-year guarantee for the restoration of tags in case of loss and a three-fold refund of the money spent on labeling (when ordering additional paid services at the time of vehicle inspection).

Let us clarify once again that the presence and presentation of the old LITEX form (of the previous owner) to change the owner in the LITEX information database is not mandatory.

Also keep in mind that the procedure for changing the owner is paid, check the information at the nearest LITEX representative office. Read more.

What to do if a car marked LITEX is stolen?

1. Come to the district department of internal affairs and write a statement about the theft of a vehicle, in which you indicate, as a “special feature”, the presence and identification code of the additional (anti-theft) LITEX marking. Attach a copy of the LITEX client registration card (form) to the application;
2. If the car is insured under CASCO, notify the insurance company;
3. Call the nearest LITEX head office and report the following information about the vehicle theft:

• Client account card number (form);
• Specified full name of the car owner, contact details;
• The circumstances of the event. Where the theft was committed from (metal, permanent garage, parking lot, from the street), indicate the exact date and time, under what circumstances;
• The model of the installed car alarm and the availability of other security and service equipment;
• If the car is insured under CASCO, then with which insurance company?
• To which police department was the statement about the theft of the vehicle written and whether the identification code of the additional LITEX marking is indicated in the statement;
• "Special features" (except for markings).

General recommendations for those whose car has been stolen

Regardless of the circumstances, do not panic and do not waste precious time, try to check with the operatives about the “septic tank places” in the city (they will have this information) and go around these places yourself (you should not wait for the operatives, but offer them your “any help”), connect your friends, go around as many yards as possible, conducting a survey from the alarm key fob. Leaving phone numbers with the police, as well as in advertisements for searching for a car, etc. under no circumstances do not leave phone numbers registered to yourself (immediately ask a couple of friends, not close relatives, to register new SIM cards to which or from which you have not yet called anyone) and try to contact every “source” you connect to the search car, give different phone numbers, write down this information for reliability, and keep SIM cards in touch (buy the required number of handsets, but not cheap ones, preferably inexpensive smartphones, this will help disguise the fact with SIM cards), in the end you will be able to narrow down the circle suspects and make it easier for investigative authorities to find them in the event that real attackers “find you.”

Returning a car without the LITEX anti-theft marking “for ransom” is practically impossible, these are the statistics, this is fraud (such scammers are exposed if operatives make “contact”).

If a car marked with the LITEX complex is stolen

The likelihood that such a car will be left motionless or abandoned by criminals increases significantly. You just need to search without wasting time, even if it is already in another city, then after a while local operatives and residents will pay attention to it, statistics indicate an increase in the vigilance of citizens, and internal affairs bodies are obliged to check every case of citizens’ appeals. A car with such a “special feature”, in the form of a vin number around the perimeter of the car, is easily identified and they will try to close the case quickly.

Post information about a stolen car in automobile communities on social networks, taking into account other cities without exception, but do not forget: one ad = one new SIM card, otherwise it will be impossible to quickly weed out scammers.

Note:“Honest” detectives also work in St. Petersburg, with a network of “their” finders-informants who, under an agreement, for a fee, can comb large areas of the city and region. Do not confuse such detectives with scammers, just do not make an advance payment under the contract, let them search, pay for services only after a personal inspection of the car and verification of the vin number.

The LITEX company cooperates with a number of public associations, which, if necessary, will also be notified of the theft of a marked vehicle. The LITEX Company will also help in monitoring investigative activities by sending official requests in the event of inaction by investigative authorities.

What is a Crime Stop Label? What are micro dots? Are you doing this too?

CRIME-STOP is a European marking of property, both movable and immovable, including various types of valuable documentation and antiques. It is an aerosol can filled with a quick-drying transparent adhesive composition, which is mixed with special miniature plates - microdots, on which a unique number in the CRIME-STOP system is applied (cut).

The CRIME-STOP marking was previously available in our "LITEX VIP EXCLUSIVE" complexes; in fact, this complex included the "LITEX PROFI" complex and a separate CRIME-STOP aerosol can with services for applying to car parts and registration of information in the CRIME personal account - STOP.

The LITEX company was forced to refuse and remove from the line the "LITEX VIP EXCLUSIVE" complex, which contains the original CrimeStop aerosol cans, for the following reasons, which conflict with the Mission and development strategy of the LITEX Company:

• lack of proper control over the company's distribution network in the Russian Federation;
• low demand for CRIME-STOP labeling;
• increase in the purchase price of aerosol cans;
• confirmed cases of changing the CRIME-STOP marking brand in the Russian Federation and Belarus;
• facts of sales by competing companies of an actual personal spray can (with a unique code) to several individuals at once, without proper registration of information in the CRIME-STOP personal account, were identified and ignored.

Be careful and purchase only for personal use and only original CRIME-STOP products, check the expiration date and ask for a sales receipt. Look at our analysis and comparison table "", and also watch a couple of videos on the LITEX VIP EXCLUSIVE complexes removed from the line (

Today, theft of cars, especially quite expensive and high-status ones, is not uncommon. That is why their owners should not neglect any means of protection.

One of the auxiliary tools that can scare away car thieves is glass marking using special technology.

What it is

Anti-theft marking of car glass (headlights, rear-view mirrors and other glass elements) involves applying the VIN number of the body or other information to the surface.

Most often the last 4 digits are applied. A similar procedure is carried out on the latest models of Volkswagen Touareg, Porsche Cayenne and others.

This procedure can be implemented in two ways:

• using coarse sand supplied under pressure;
• using acid.

For application, a pre-made stencil is used. Subsequently, it is impossible to remove this kind of inscription unnoticed.

Even if you use similar technologies, an ugly, strange-looking rectangle will definitely remain on the surface of the glass. Accordingly, this will lead to suspicions regarding the origin of the car part or the car itself.

This kind of simultaneously performs two tasks at once:

• scares away the hijacker;
• if the car was stolen, it provides clues to law enforcement agencies and simplifies the search.

The reason why car thieves try not to mess with marked cars is quite simple to explain. On average, the person involved in theft receives approximately 25% of the value of the stolen car.

If there is a marking for resale of the car, it will be necessary to replace the glass unit and optical elements.

For example, on a Land Cruiser 200, a set of windows including installation will cost approximately 120 thousand rubles. On average, this amounts to 30% of the income that a thief receives when stealing a car of this class.

However, glass marking has both its advantages and disadvantages. It is imperative to take them all into account, as well as many other factors - all of this together will maximize the protection of the car from theft.

Where can I do it?

A service such as glass marking is extremely popular. That is why more and more people use it every day.

Finding a workshop that provides such services is quite simple. But it is best to contact any specialists on the recommendation of someone who has already used their services.

Since this kind of work has its own characteristics and difficulties. Glass is a rather fragile element, which is why it is necessary to work with it very carefully.

Most often such services are provided:

• in special workshops engaged in the installation and repair of automobile glass, chips and cracks on them;
• from official dealers.

The second method is much more preferable, since in most cases official representatives have professional equipment and the likelihood of making any mistakes is minimal.

In addition, a labor guarantee is provided. At the same time, various independent workshops do not always use modern equipment.

If you work carelessly, there is a high probability of simply damaging an expensive glass component.

Prices

The cost of providing a service of this type depends on a large number of different factors.

It is affected by:

• car make/model;
• glass type;
• region.

But most of all, the price of the service is influenced by the region where it is provided.

Since, first of all, all kinds of private automobile workshops focus specifically on the solvency of residents living in a particular region.

For a Land Cruiser 200, glass marking using acid paste etching will cost:

For domestically produced cars, marking will cost slightly less. However, the cost varies depending on the location of the marking.

The basic set of services usually includes etching VIN or other information on glass. You will have to pay extra for writing inscriptions on rear-view mirrors, headlights and turn signals.

How long does it last?

Glass marking is a procedure that allows you to imprint any information on the glass surface forever.

The only reason why etched lettering can disappear from the surface of glass is deliberate removal.

But even in this case, it will not disappear without a trace; there will be a “scar” on the surface of the glass - from etching with acid or treating the surface with coarse sand.

In this case, the glass marking applied using this method cannot be damaged:

• during contactless washing;
• when using specialized shampoos for cars;
• with a knife or other mechanical means.

In fact, without special equipment it is simply impossible to get rid of the presence of markings on glass. That is why this method of protecting a car from theft is extremely simple, convenient and profitable.

It requires a minimum investment of time and money from the car owner - it will be enough to visit a specialized workshop only once.

Does glass marking help prevent theft?

One of the biggest advantages of marking is the inability to make a car unrecognizable to its previous owner without significant costs.

If there is a marking, it will be necessary to transmit information about it directly to law enforcement agencies involved in the search for cars.

The presence of markings will help:

• establish the ownership of the car;
• find any clues - if suddenly the car was disassembled and parts from it are sold on the secondary market.

Marking somewhat simplifies the search for an already stolen car, which is why, if such an opportunity exists, you should not neglect applying special inscriptions to the surface of the glass.

Statistics show that about 61% of all cars found after theft had special etched markings on the windows or other parts.

Advantages and disadvantages

Glass marking has both its advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, there are many more positive aspects of applying a body number to various parts of a car than negative ones.

The most important advantages include the following:

• protection is provided around the clock;
• no maintenance required;
• high level of reliability;
• low cost;
• the body number is immediately visible;
• it is impossible to hack or bypass;
• Suitable for all models and brands.

The type of protection in question operates around the clock without the participation of the car owner. There is no need to use activation key fobs or other additional devices or carry them with you.

You cannot forget to turn on the protection - it is active all the time, any thief will immediately see the anti-theft glass markings on the surface of the windows.

No maintenance is required and there is no need for electrical current in the wiring. It is simply not possible to disable the marking as a regular siren alarm.

This is precisely the most important advantage of marking - a thief will most likely refuse to steal a marked car, since the presence of a VIN on the windows will make theft simply unprofitable.

With all its advantages, this method of protection against theft is extremely profitable and reliable. In most cases, its cost is significantly less than installing even the simplest anti-theft system.

Anti-theft marking of glass has currently gained great popularity among car enthusiasts and is deservedly recognized as an effective measure in the fight against car theft! Let's explain how anti-theft markings on car windows affect the attacker's plans: Let's imagine that the thief chose a certain make and model of car and began to pick up the victim. First of all, he understands that he is committing a crime and his victim must be as safe as possible in terms of the risk of being captured. Having found the planned car, he will definitely study the security systems before the act of theft and understand how laborious it will be to steal a specific car. He will select the necessary master keys, codes, immobilizers, jammers, disable anti-theft systems using digital and/or mechanical methods, and most likely steal the planned car.

Now let’s imagine that the selected car has anti-theft glass markings applied to it. Having seen the engraving of glass on a car, an attacker will immediately think about the time and financial costs he will have to incur after stealing the car. GLASSES MARKED WITH A VIN CODE WILL HAVE TO BE EXCHANGED for others, without anti-theft engraving, otherwise, when further selling a stolen car, any buyer will ask a logical question - why does the VIN code on the glass not match the VIN number on the documents?

This means you NEED TO CHANGE THE GLASS! What this means is that you need to select glass for a specific make/model of the car and at the same time find glass with factory markings for the corresponding year of manufacture, because everyone knows that if the year on the glass does not correspond to the year of manufacture of the car, then most likely the car is damaged and repaired! This means that there will be large financial costs (the price of all glass for a car in a circle is from 10% to 20% of the cost of the car) and a huge loss of time, because finding, buying and installing new glass is not a matter of one day, while the car search and the risk of being caught increases. It follows from this that anti-theft marking of car windows creates big problems for the thief and he will naturally turn his attention to another car without engraving the windows. An attacker will not even try to steal such a car and will not damage it in any way! Anti-theft marking of glass is a truly effective method to reduce the risk of theft!

A simple and sure way to protect your vehicle is to mark your car’s windows with this VIN number, which will instantly become unsuitable for installation on a similar car model and, accordingly, will be of no interest to car thieves.

2.​ Open the jar of glass etching paste and using a marker, carefully apply a small amount of it to the stencil, painting over all the symbols, but not going beyond its edges, and leave for 15-20 minutes.

3. After the specified time, simply remove the stencil and wipe the glass dry with a regular napkin or rag.

A few words about the advantages of the “VIN-KOD” marking

The cost of a kit for self-engraving of car windows “VIN-KOD” is several times less than the financial losses from theft or damage to car windows. By ordering it on our website, you will receive a reliable means of protecting your vehicle at an affordable price. Glass markings cannot be washed off, scraped off or destroyed in any other way. If you try to polish the number on the glass, a rough and unsightly scratch mark will remain on the glass, and it will lose its presentation. In addition, the glass markings are resistant to low and high temperatures; the car can be outdoors in any weather, and the markings will remain intact.

A car with anti-theft markings applied to the windows a priori becomes uninteresting to the criminal. And even if some hooligan steals your vehicle, the chances of finding it increase sharply. At the same time, the appearance of the car will not be affected in any way, because the height of the marker symbols is only a few millimeters.

Finally, insurance companies treat owners of marked cars more favorably, and some insurers provide discounts when applying for CASCO insurance, since the risk of being stolen from such vehicles is significantly reduced.

Some features when working with the “VIN-KOD” car glass marking set

1.​ Remember that for high-quality glass engraving, you must strictly adhere to the attached instructions.

2. Store leftover paste in a tightly closed container for no more than 1 year.

3.​ The procedure should be carried out at an air temperature not lower than -5°C. If you want to apply anti-theft markings on glass in winter, it is better for the car to be in a warm room - a garage, car service station, etc. where wet snow will not drip and flow.

4.​ If the paste is kept in a room with sub-zero temperatures, it will crystallize. You can return it to its normal texture by placing it in a warm environment. The paste does not lose its properties, and before use it should be mixed thoroughly.

By using the “VIN-KOD” kit for self-labeling car windows, you will quickly and reliably protect your vehicle 24/7. Placing an order is very simple, you just need to fill out a special form, and we will deliver it to the specified address as soon as possible.
