I thought that it sounded too good to be true!!! But I've checked it out and it does seem to be genuine (it gets a mention on the South Yorkshire Police website).

 

I was thinking of using that Smartwater stuff, but you have to pay an annual subscription of around £60, which put me off. Immobilise offer a similar product, microdots, at £19.99 for a thousand. I think I'll see if I can find anybody who's used them, to see if they're effective. They would be very handy to mark stuff like jewellery, where identification can be difficult.

 

Many thanks for the links - very useful.
