My brother just returned from Australia where he was shown a new process they use to avoid VIN switching. They have a liquid which is sprayed in the crevices and underbelly of the car. It is invisible unless under ultraviolet light.

Not sure exactly how it works but it marks the car with literally thousands of the cars VIN number. It is absolutely everywhere and impossible to remove it unless you tear the whole car apart at all factory seems before acid dipping or sand blasting.

Look for it soon!

Sounds like a great idea, now convince the car manufacturers in the USA.

I bought a Mercedes E55 a few months ago and all body panels and key parts are identified with a coded number. even if the sticker is removed the number stays on the panel. MB have used a bar code ID system for many years,as far back as 1991 models.
Chrysler used a "secret" number on cars since the 50's. i just removed the heater box from my 1960 300F and found the number on the firewall. It is not a duplicate of the vin but it does identify the car a matching the body unit number and microfiche data.
I saw you stamp your car in 4 locations that are nor visible but easily locateable if nesessary.
Floor pan under carpet.
Bottem of doors.
trunl lid inner frame
rear frame rail.
