Plan to Thwart Auto Theft Marks Cars With Special Permits
Grand Rapids resident H. W. Hyser proposed a plan backed by the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company to curb car thefts. The scheme would have the secretary of state issue exclusive permits branding car parts with marks that cannot be removed without defacing the part. The permit would serve as proof of ownership, be transferable with the car, and a defaced car would be a crime to drive. The idea followed Goodrich advice to mark tires and other materials to deter theft.
