RAC offers you a low cost way to protect the belongings in your home with Datadot.
Property marking with Datadots
Datadots are an advanced way of engraving your property for identification. Once an item has been engraved with a Datadot it can easily be identified if stolen. This removes the main motivation for property theft - to convert stolen items quickly into cash.
What are Datadots?
Datadots are made from a polyester base and are about the size of a grain of sand. Each 'dot' is laser-etched with an identification number that's unique to you, like your drivers licence or Medicare number. Datadots have a life expectancy of at least 20 years and show up clearly under UV or black light.
What can you tag with Datadots?
Datadots can be applied to almost any item: electrical goods, computers, watches, rings, bracelets, mobile phones, bicycles and much more. Datadots come with a set of warning stickers, clearly highlighting that the goods are marked for identification.
Why does property marking deter thieves?
Stolen goods that are marked for identification are much harder to dispose of and increase the risk of being caught in possession of stolen goods. This increased risk of handling marked goods acts as a deterrent to thieves.
