Security Marking Collection

Jerseyman · 23rd June 2016, 04:23 PM

Our local constabulary recently provided our entire neighbourhood with Smart Water home security packs. This property marking kit contains a liquid which dries leaving a mark visible under UV light. The liquid has a unique forensic code which is assigned to your property alone. If you move you notify the company.
What you do if you dispose of the item I'm not sure.

I've checked the company's website and it appears that the liquid is made from metal-based materials containing no organic compounds. If a stolen item is found to be marked I believe a section of the Smart Water is removed (scraped off?) which might leave a small mark on the item.

My questions are - has anybody used this product to mark their collection? Does anyone have any information indicating whether it might or might not be a good idea to mark weapons?

All thoughts welcome.
