Anti-theft marking - car theft protector No. 1

Vin-code is a kind of indelible “stamp”. It cannot be taken out or removed and therefore the vehicle is easy to find. This is known not only by law enforcement agencies, but also by the hijackers. According to statistics, marked cars are stolen 79% less often than unmarked ones. In this case, the found cars in 85 cases out of 100 are equipped with a vin code. Theft of a marked car is unprofitable for the hijackers: the risk is high, and the profit is about 12-15% less than the expected one. The fact is that marked glasses and mirrors will have to be removed and replaced with unmarked ones. If you sell a car for parts, then hardly anyone will buy "marked" glass and they will have to be thrown away without receiving money for them. In some cases, VIN marking is beneficial because of insurance: when insuring a car, the presence of a vin code can significantly reduce the cost of a CASCO insurance policy (Certain insurance companies provide a discount of up to 35% of the amount of the insurance premium)

The wine code on Range Rover Sport I vehicles is located on the frame. Knocked out on the right side near the front passenger door. Also, the wine number can be seen under the windshield, in the lower part, on the left.

The marking table can be located in different places, depending on the equipment. It is usually glued to the front of the radiator frame above right headlight, or to the right of the bonnet lock.

The Range Rover Sport 1, which burned down after a fire, or an accident after an accident, usually has the Wine code intact. But in front of a broken car, the marking table often deteriorates. Accordingly, selling a broken or burnt down Range Rover Sport 1 car will most likely not work without problems.
