Just my two cents
Anyone have any stories of those laser etched windows being found and returned? I've never heard of one. Because the only time someone is ever going to come across stolen etched windows is if they find them in a chop shop. It's not like the cops run the etchings anytime they pull a car over for running a redlight.

I etched the inside (inside the tire) of my wheels with "STOLEN: These wheels belong to.... please call XXX XXX XXXX if they are found". My hope is that eventually the person that received the wheels/tires will have to get the tires replaced. and HOPEFULLY the guy at the tire store putting them on will be some honest Joe and see that. Again, it's all very hopeful.
