In the US our microdot technology has been so successful for recovery when used in "sting" operations that most criminals accused, changed their plea to "guilty" when they found out that the Police evidence was supported by the identification of registered Microdots on the stolen property.

DataDot Technology is negotiating with a number of car-makers to have thousands of DataDots plastic dots no bigger than grains of sand sprayed on cars during production. 
These microscopic dots, each of them imprinted with a car's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), would be sprayed on the underbody, throughout the interior and inside the boot.
