🔍 Mark It. Record It. Protect It. 🔍

Did you know that clearly identifying your property can help police return stolen items to their rightful owners and may deter thieves from targeting your belongings?

✅ Engrave or mark valuable items with a unique identifier, such as your driver's licence number (without the card number) or another personal code.
✅ Keep a record of serial numbers, makes, models and photographs of valuable possessions.
✅ Store your property records in a safe place and update them regularly.
✅ Mark tools, bicycles, trailers, electronic devices and other high-value items.

If your property is ever lost or stolen, having accurate identification details can greatly assist police investigations and improve the chances of recovery.

🏠 Property identification is a simple step that can make a big difference in protecting what matters most.
