Effective Property Marking
Marking your property is an extremely effective method of deterring thieves from stealing your valuables. If your property is clearly identified it will be more difficult for the thief to sell and often reduces the value to the thief. Marking your property also increases the chances of having it returned to you in the event of it being lost or stolen. Our range of Property Marking Kits, UV Marker Pens, Crimestoppers Unique Traceable Liquid and Security stickers offer a great way to protect property and assist in asset recovery. What property should be marked? You should mark all valuable items and sentimental property from your house, garage, shed and vehicles. For example, all electrical items such as: - Expensive Flat screen Televisions
- Computers and Laptops
- Sat Nav systems
- MP3 players and Ipods
- Computer Game Consoles
- Mobile phones/ iPhones etc
- Video Cameras
- Audio Systems
- Digital Cameras
Other valuable items such as: - Bicycles
- Power Tools
- Lawn Mowers
- Jewellery
- Sporting equipment
The importance of Property Marking If your valuables were stolen, you may be able to replace your TV and DVD player, but items of sentimental value are unlikely to be replaced. Also if you are burgled unless you have accurate records it is unlikely you would be able to describe your valuables in detail to the police or an Insurance Company. Therefore by using our ultimate property marking kit for example you are able to record and catalogue all your belongings. Every year, police recover property worth hundreds of pounds but because it can't be identified, it is not returned to its rightful owners. This also means that police officers cannot prove that they were stolen, and will mean thieves profit from selling your valuables. Don't make it easy for a criminal - mark your property. It is very easy to do. Using our Security Marker Pens, mark your property with a clear identification mark, which cannot be erased easily. Use your house name or number followed by the postcode e.g. 75 EX2 7TG. Where to mark your property If you want the identification mark to be out of sight then choose somewhere behind or underneath the article but make sure the police can find it.
