Default Possible to remove theft protection stickers without damage finish?

The previous owner had these traceable phantom footprint labels installed all over the car. I'm guessing they discourage chop shops from parting out the car? Any way I would like to remove them as I find them to be an eyesore. Any good ideas on a method of removal that would not cause any damage or leave any kind of indication they were ever there?

Any ideas? Im not sure if they are designed to stay on permanently but I have found it difficult to just try and peel them off. Any type of solution that might make the adhesive give out there?

80 grit!

We use an eraser wheel (air powered) thats a rubber disc (eraser) designed to remove automotive decals etc. I suppose theres one that might fit into a drill.

Heat gun, thinner
