摘要：	The Motor Vehicle Theft Law Enforcement Act of 1984 required automobile manufacturers, based on standards established by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), to mark 14 component parts of selected high-theft automobile lines with identifying numbers. The Federal Anti-Car Theft Act of 1992 required manufacturers to mark an additional 50 percent of their remaining lines. Both statutes permitted the DOT to grant a limited number of exemptions for new automobile lines equipped with factory-installed anti-theft devices. The 1992 legislation also required the U.S. Attorney General to conduct two assessments of the DOT rules: Evaluate the effectiveness of the parts marking and, if found to be effective in inhibiting chop shop operations and deterring motor vehicle theft, extend parts marking to all remaining vehicle lines; and, Evaluate (a) whether parts marking has been effective in substantially inhibiting the operation of chop shops and motor vehicle theft and (b) whether the anti-theft devices for which the DOT has granted exemptions are an effective substitute for parts marking in substantially inhibiting motor vehicle theft.
