| DataDot DNA: Protects and
Identifies All of Your Personal Property
What
Are Datadots?
DataDots identify your personal property in a way that makes it impossible
for a thief to "clean". Each the size of a grain of sand,
DataDots are laser etched with a unique PIN number. The owner may apply
as few as one or as many as hundreds to their valuables. This DataDot
has been magnified about 100 times. DataDots can be applied to:
- Music Players
- Laptops
- Bicycles
- Cell Phones
- TVs and Stereos
- CDs and DVDs
- Cameras
- Artwork
- Automobile Accessories
- Virtually Any Item You Want (We do not recommend using DataDots
on textbooks, especially if you plan on selling them back.)
How Do They Reduce Theft?
The deterrence of theft is the ultimate protection for all of your personal
property. DataDots help us to prove the true owner of your property
and increase the chance of catching theives. The "Protected by
DataDot Technology" decals warn theives to stay away from your
property.
Tracing
and Recovering Your Property
The key to recovering your property is the recording of your property.
A unique feature of the DataDot recovery system is the national registration
database. This distinctive registry was designed specifically for the
DataDot Identification and Security System. For a minimal cost, users
can also download inventory software to track their property and unique
PIN. The information is only accessible to law enforcement and investigators.
We only have to locate a single DataDot to confirm the property's owner.
We use a special blacklight and magnifier to find and read the unique
police tracable identifiers on the DataDots. If your DataDot protected
property is stolen, be sure to give us your PIN when you make the police
report.
Where Can You Get DataDots?
DataDot kits are available in the University Bookstore.
