Retainagroup, the country’s leading experts in vehicle glass and component security etching, marking and registration systems, is urging people to make just one ‘phone call to identify vehicles that have been stolen, cloned or have fake documents.
Almost 11 million vehicles and close to 60 million windows have been marked by Retainagroup with details and owner information held on the company’s International Security Register (ISR).
Each vehicle is marked with a unique code and a 24/7 ‘phone number - and Retainagroup is asking people to use this direct line to the ISR in order to avoid purchasing vehicles that have been stolen or which may have doubtful provenance. There is no charge for this service.
So when considering a used car, or if you’re suspicious about a vehicle check the glass to see if it carries ISR markings. The ISR 24/7 ‘phone number will also be there, and a single call will alert you to any police interest in the vehicle and signal whether something’s not quite right. 07000 111333 is the number to call day or night to speak with a real person who can reassure or alert you to potential problems such as whether the seller is recorded as the owner on the ISR, whether the vehicle has been reported stolen or if the registration mark matches the chassis number and other details.
The police regularly call the ISR to check suspicious vehicles.
Well as the supermarket advert goes "Every little helps".
