A community approach
Vehicle theft is not just an individual problem
It increases insurance costs, impacts families and businesses, and places additional pressure on police and investigators. The more identifiable vehicles become, the less attractive they become to thieves.
The ripple effect
How the community benefits
Community Participation
Owners, families and local groups opt in together.
More Vehicles Marked
Every marking day adds protected vehicles in the area.
Higher Offender Risk
Marked vehicles raise the stakes for thieves and re-sellers.
Greater Identification
Hidden identifiers help police verify true ownership.
Improved Recovery
Recovered parts and vehicles can be traced back to owners.
Safer Communities
A visible deterrent that benefits the whole neighbourhood.
What's in it for you

Most vehicles contain very little hidden ownership identification. Whole of Vehicle Marking helps change that equation.

Coordinated crews targeting high-value vehicles for resale and parts.
Parts theft
Stripping vehicles for components that move quickly through grey markets.
Vehicle rebirthing
Stolen vehicles given new identities and resold to unsuspecting buyers.
Export theft
Vehicles loaded into containers and shipped overseas within days.
Criminal use
