As somebody who does 3D modelling professionally.

Any 3D model is made up of vertexes, these are like points, draw a point line between two points, you have an edge, draw a third point, connect them up and you have a triangle. Finally, connect two triangles. And you have a polygon.

All models are made in this way, and as such, can be broken down to their original polygons, which appear in a certain place.

As such, if any 3D models are stolen, they will have the exact same arrangement of polygons. The placement of each vertex. Imagine if you drew an image by drawing a dot on the page. Now, you could copy the overall image, but, could you get the dots in the exact same place, without any discrepancy?

Very unlikely.

As such, if two models that look the same and have vertexes in the same place, it's extremely likely that it's the same model.
