Local police have just given me a Smar****er kit to mark all my garden
equipment, workshop tools, indoor shiny things, and my Land Rover major
components. The sign that comes with needs marking as well, its solid
aluminium weighing 3 pounds, now that is bound to get nicked.

I thought that represents jolly good service as it was free. Thing is. Do
you think it will help if any of my stuff gets nicked?

It does absolutely no good. The police can't be bothered checking for that,
uV pens they also give away or even engraved details. It wears off quite
quickly and can easily be washed off and/or painted over.

Yes, what happened to those Ultra Violet pens where you're supposed to write
you post code. Did they ever check for it?
