Include each item's serial and model numbers and its approximate value. Leave one list at home. Keep the other in a safe place in your room. Use an engraver to label your valuables with your name, driver's license number, and state abbreviation. You may borrow an engraving tool from your hall office or from Public Safety.
Most burglars steal valuables for resale.
If you mark all items with permanent identification numbers, burglars may be unable to sell them. Stolen property can be traced and identified by your driver's license number. Participate in the Wolfguard ID Program, which enables you to register your belongings with the Department of Public Safety. After registering your belongings, you will receive stickers to place on your room door and registered items, identifying them as being registered with Public Safety. If criminals know that all of your valuables are marked, they are less likely to consider you an easy, profitable victim.
