Most people desire a scratch-free ride, but if you really want to deter thieves, fake scratches and rust might be for you. 

Designer Dominic Wilcox has designed a series of temporary stickers which you add to your car or bike when you are most in need.

In downtown Toronto, I always think it’s entertaining to see the ‘82 Hondas with steering wheel bars, parked next to Benzes and BMWs…  Seeing a car with fake rust could be even more fun.

These rust and scratch stickers are designed to make your beautiful bike/car look rusted and scratched so that passing thieves assume it's not worth stealing due to its apparent shabbyness. Note. This anti-theft device is not guaranteed to work in any way. However I have stuck them to my shiney new red bike and can confirm it hasn't been stolen yet. 13 days of not being stolen in London probably equates to 7 years of non-stealing in the friendly countryside.

What's the point in driving a beautiful new car that looks old and rusty? Why not just buy an old beater and save the money?
