Frequently
Asked Questions
1. How can the IDsticker
prevent my vehicle from being stolen?
The IDsticker keeps car thieves from disguising
your vehicle in the event that it is stolen. Car thieves
often change or take off your vehicle's license plate since
they know that both the police and citizens participating
in the Nation's Neighborhood Watch For Stolen Vehicles are
looking out for your license plate. When car thieves see
the IDsticker in your car's window they will move on to
steal a car that will be easier to disguise. Back

What do I do if I get new plates
or sell my car?

is made with a strong adhesive that will make it difficult
for a thief to quickly remove from your window. However,
if you take your time, use a sticker
removal product and follow the instructions included
in your IDsticker

completely. Back to top
8.
How do I properly install the IDsticker onto my window?
In order
to make your IDsticker difficult to remove by thieves you
will need to install it properly. You must first clean the
window area with a damp cloth and remove all dirt and dust.
Next, using a cloth, you must carefully apply Mineral
Spirits, a fine quality thinner, to the area you will
place the sticker on. Upon cleaning the winow area with
Mineral
Spirits you peel off the sticker backing and carefully
place the IDsticker in the exact spot you want it. Use caution
as it will be difficult to remove the sticker once it has
been placed on the glass. Smooth out the IDsticker using
a cloth to push out any airbubbles. If the airbubble persist
you can delicately slice them with a razor and push the
air out of the slit. Warning: Although mineral spirits are
less toxic and flammable than gum turpentine, they should
be used with caution. Follow directions for use carefully.
Use only in a well-ventilated area. Mineral spirits are
not suitable for use by young children. Back

9.
How can I take advantage of the Nation's
Neighborhood Watch For Stolen Vehicles if my vehicle
is ever stolen?
Your IDsticker
purchase qualifies you to automatically register your vehicle
in the StolenCarReports
database and alert citizens in your community to look out
for your vehicle. Normally there is a $15 registration fee,
but this fee is waived for all vehicles registered in the
N.V.I.P and armed with the IDsticker.
In the event that your car thief removes your license plate,
police and Tippers will be able to spot it using the IDsticker.

10. How do I
get rid of any air bubbles?
Sometimes it is difficult
to get rid of all the air bubbles. This is particularly
true when you have prepared the window properly and it is
hard to pull the sticker off to re-apply. Air bubbles will
gradually disappear as long as the sticker gets direct sunlight.
