They are great if Police recover suspect stolen goods, as they will look for these and return the items to the owner.
This "wheel insert" would be more than obvious to anyone working on your wheels/tires.
And is more likely to take note, when they see a warning that says "STOLEN" on them.
Of course this could also be modified to include VIN number, or address ete etc.
Personally I would slip it in a sealed baggy or something like that, and tape it inside the rim  |
Very true about the microdots. When I first saw them they looked like tiny holes. It wasn't until I broke out the macro equipment that I was able to tell what they were. Most tire busters aren't going to know either.
I think your idea is pretty good. I know if I were breaking one down and saw your label, I'd certainly look at the ticket to compare the name. Sure would be a bad deal for the second owner though. Lose your wheels and face the possibility of possession of stolen property charges. Might make them think twice about one of those "too good to be true" wheel deals though.
