Power Tool Theft Issues

Stopping the scourge of tool theft is something we can all play our part in. Fitting extra door locks and vehicle security is one place to start but will not deter the focused criminal if what is inside comes with no risk but big rewards.

Datatag enables the police to correctly confirm ownership AND determine if an asset has been listed as stolen, quickly and easily. Fitting Datatag makes your tools unattractive to thieves as defeating the multi-layered approach we take is almost impossible and therefore presents risks they do not want to take. Datatag is the first step in protecting your business and putting criminals behind bars.

Thieves know that Datatagged property is simply too hot to handle, and once they see your property is protected they will usually go looking for an easier target - The Ultimate Deterent.

There are hundreds within the system and they are applied in hidden places on all your valuable property. Only one is required to prove ownership therefore a thief would have to be 100% confident that they had found and removed every single one to avoid detection and prosecution.
