Why would a thief do anything to tip you off in advance of the deed?
Despite what the Daily Mail trots out with all the crap about the "Da Pinchi Code" etc theives do not go about making life easy for the police by leaving marks as a to-do list of upcoming thievery.
As for what it is though... a splash of some kind? Can it be peeled off or eased off with a blade?

Why would a thief need to highlight it? Are their memories that bad? They'd have to remember where the van was regularly parked up, and if they can remember where to go to find the van then its going to be pretty obvious to even the most forgetful thief that the 2 tonne box on wheels is what theyre looking for.
Sorry, I was a sergeant on an autocrime team for 7 years and heard it all.
But coming back to the mark, you reckon it seem like a spot with no paint that goes right down to the bare metal?

That reminds me of people finding elastic bands on their garden gates put there by dog nappers. Then they would return to steal your dog! Strange, I've seen elastic bands on gates that have no dogs!!
Just looks like a round sticker to me?
It's a splodge. Try some tar and glue remover. It's nothing to do with it being marked for theft.
Local kids got some stickers for xmas?
That looks like a burner pad for a diesel heater!
So what does that do?
The diesel filters through it ( it is made from FeCrAl mat ) and the flame forms on the surface of it.
Looks like a round holographic sticker. Probably left by aliens to mark you out for a good probing. It certainly looks to be on the surface of the paint, not in the paint.
Odd, I assume it’s not magnetic and got stuck on.
It’s back to bare metal
Where on the van is it? Has that area been resprayed/repaired? How old is the van? Could have been a sticker that was then sprayed over and has now come loose and fallen off. No idea why one would have been there, maybe an error in the factory or a blank for an accessory that hasn’t been fitted?
