A method for preventing theft of a vehicle using intensive marking comprises, establishing a service network ( 10 ) including a service center ( 12 ) having a databank ( 14 ) for data processing and storage, and a number of service stations ( 16 ) providing anti theft service to clients. At the service stations, an agent provides a particular intensive marking ( 42 ) alphanumerical code to the vehicle which identifies the region of origin of the vehicle owner and includes a sequential number corresponding to the particular vehicle identification number. The intensive marking alphanumerical code is permanently marked ( 62 ) on about 50 of the most saleable parts of the vehicle in order to reduce the black-market value thereof. The vehicle is also provided with visible logo ( 21 ) identifying the vehicle anti theft service rendered to this vehicle, thereby deterring theft.
