Exclamation How to identify an accident vehicle ?

TrueValue guys told me that if any car is involved in any serious accident and if any major body work is done, it can be easily identified with the help of a seal(like the warranty seal that we usually see in PC's/Home Appliances). If the seal is broken then it shows that the car was involved in an accident and major repairs work is done. And they told me that this seals are fixed in different parts of the cars like doors, bonnet, boot etc. If this is true, then where are the other major locations ?

And.....How can we identify whether the windshield is replaced since most of the OEM windshields of the vehicles are manufactured by Asahi/Saint Gobain/Temperlite etc and if the winshield is being replaced with the same brand ?

Is there any other Tricks of the Trade to easily pinpoint accident vehicles ?
