This is a well known practice in ecology for estimating population size(and recently in sociology and policy-making for estimating, for example, homeless people). It's called mark and recapture or capture-recapture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_and_recapture There are even some(not many) papers applying this technique to defect estimation in software.
