DIY Secret Serial Numbers?

[PlainBrownR2]

BShaw,
What you have described is probably one of the more ideal things a person can do with their car. I had a bicycle back in college that I used to get around with. Well, I had to lock it in the rack at night. Course the lock was pretty hefty, but I didnt feel good about it. So I bought a Dremel Engraver, and "tattooed" my name, address, phone number and a special symbol that I could identify if the bicycle ever went missing. By doing this the bicycle not only became my personal property, but I could also identify either the symbol or the scratched off symbol if need be. Fortunately, I never had to resort having to do that. The thief would have to basically strip and repaint the bicycle, which would be alot of time, effort, and money wasted on a cheap simple bicycle from Walmart.

My son has a 1998 (give or take a year) SUPRA. It has a 'sender' GPS or something like that to give it's location. I would say it is = in vale to an excellent Avanti. Toyota has contacted him twice about a sale to them.

I've actually seen at least one Avanti that could be considered purple, and pics of another... one was Mac Myer's and the other belonged to Doug Crall's son, I think... I wouldn't have picked those colors but from what I saw I'd be proud to own either one.
