Retaina Group - anti theft stickers - Durelli_tyres
Hi,

just got a new car about a month ago and now contacted by RetainaGroup. Apparently this company has put stickers in the windows of our car and want to charge £25 to register us as owners of the car.

Doing this they claim will massively reduce the likelihood of the car being taken and if it is taken mean there is then a greater chance of it being returned to us.

I don't really see how this is possible just by having some stickers in the windows of the car?

Especially as the stickers are there already. How will a thief know if we have paid the £25 or not?

And once stolen, wouldn't the thieves simply remove the stickers? In the same way they remove / alter the VIN ?

Overall am I missing something here? Anyone any experience of this company?

cheers

D

Think you have answered all your own questions but have you actually seen the "stickers" on your car or do they want to do the work. In truth they are not stickers, the numbers are etched into the glass.

If somene had etched the glass on my new car at the dealers without my permission I would be fuming
