Deter property theft AND aid recovery?

AVDC’s Community Safety team and Thames Valley Police are offering free tool engraving and marking during April.

They will use a product called CREmark, a marking system that clearly marks the ownership of your possessions, in order to deter thieves and aid the recovery of stolen property. It is clear visible security coding with a protective overcoat lacquer.

Free CREmark and engraving of tools for up to three items will be offered on a first come first served basis while stocks last at well marked stalls at:

• World’s End Garden Centre – Friday 5th April 2013 from 10:00-13:00
• Buckingham Garden Centre – Wednesday 10th April 2013 from 10:00-15:00
• B&Q, Aylesbury – Thursday 11th April 2013 from 09:30-13:30
• Wickes, Aylesbury – Friday 12th April 2013 from 09:00-13:00
• Homebase, Aylesbury – Monday 15th April 2013 from 10:00-15:00
• Haddenham Garden Centre – Saturday 27th April 2013 from 10:00-15:00

As you will see from the picture the CREmark is a very visible thus making items less valuable for thieves and, if actually stolen or lost, easily identifiable.

Unlike other systems this is easy to use and, quite obviously, does not require any paperwork or registration. Those getting tools marked will also receive a free vehicle crime pack and shed and garage security advice.
