Alot of the Md's have the serial numbers inside the battery box guys.

True but some people who tend to steal try and remove SN #'s if possible. Just a thought.

If we observe a serial number that has been removed, we get suspicious - our policy is that we take the item and tell the person to show proof they own it. Meanwhile we contact teh mfg. and attempt to find other numbers that help identifying the real owner.

If you put a owner id number on it, put it in plain sight. If you use your drivers license number, put the state of issue on it too (example - MO 1234456). If the item has these 2 things we can help getting your property back quicker.

I bought a Sierra Madre off this forum about a month ago. When it arrived the first thing I noticed was that a number or name had been ground off of the upper rod. It really stands out. I'm wondering whether it's stolen or whether it was a legitimate sale and the new owner just wanted it removed. The serial number is still in the battery box.

check with the company to see where and to whom it was sold to

I really should engrave DL # on a lot of things.
Just never get a 'round tuit'.
It really does help cops catch bad guys who might otherwise walk away...

Hello,
A question I am kind of wondering about. If you have your DL # on a stolen item, wouldn't that give the thief an
opportunity to steal your identity? There is so much info available on the computer.

You are probably correct, Ray.

Maybe that's why my ID is on NOTHING I own!

Anymore, I'm nervous about putting junkmail in the garbage.

Credit card OFFERS! what if someone else fills it out?

Best,

That is why don't put your Social Security number on anything. A DL will only give date of birth and address. There are other unique identifying numbers. Contact your local Sheriff's Dept. or Police Dept to see if they participate in an ID Program. If they don't ask your insurance agent, some companies have a ID Program.

Do we have a prominent spot here on Tnet for stolen mining equipment?
