Abstract
This invention involves the use of an apparatus that would be attached to specific areas of motor vehicles. Contained within this apparatus would be a plurality of (code bearing) radio frequency identifier devices or “RFID'"'"'s.” Since these codes would be unique to the motor vehicle to which they were assigned; it would now be possible to identify vehicles involved in hit and run accidents by the evidence they would leave behind—in the form of RFID'"'"'s.
