Sorry no pictures I'm afraid.

Often I see cars with a little barcode sticker on the rear windows, anyone any idea what they're for? They generally always seem to be newer cars, my best guess might be something to do with leasing and the renter/driver not bothering being able or bothered to take it off.

Anyone shed any light?
