Garden: Retrieval of Stolen Items.

The retrieval of stolen goods is never easy. To stand any chance of being reunited with your stolen posessions it is essential that they are accurately catalogued and uniquely marked. Cataloguing and Property Marking are essential not only in helping the police to trace your goods, but also - if recovered -  in proving indisputable ownership.

Property Marking

Gardien recommends that all garden property is indelibly marked. Property Marking makes your valuables worthless to a thief! The most appropriate method of marking will depend upon the item:

 

  • For general garden equipment, tools and outdoor items use permanent Property Marking Stencil (SelectaMark). AVAILABLE TO BUY NOW FROM THIS SITE:   PROPERTY MARKING STENCILS
  • For bulk metal, such as lead roofing use SELECTADNA Grease. AVAILABLE TO BUY NOW FROM THIS SITE: SELECTADNA GREASE
  • For Garden Antiques (to invisibly mark your items and provide unique and conclusive proof of ownership) use Forensic DNA Solutions. AVAILABLE TO BUY NOW FROM THIS SITE: FORENSIC DNA KIT
  • Full security coding service of all key possessions using the latest in Digital Photography Techniques and DNA property marking. Identidot: Asset Management Systems Identidot property marking

Cataloguing

A basic requirement for the retrieval of stolen property is the maintenance of accurate, up-to-date records of all valuable items, including photographs, dimensions, makers’ names, distinguishing marks, purchase receipts, values etc. Visit our Garden Inventory page to catalogue your garden posessions today.
