The Operation Identification program has two parts. First, engrave your valuables with your driver's license number. Marked property can be easily traced and identified as yours. Second, display an Operation ID window and door sticker which tells would-be burglars that your property has been marked. Marked property and the presence of the Operation ID sticker are proven burglary deterrents.
Marked property is difficult for a burglar to dispose of or re-sell.
If a burglar is caught with marked property, it is solid evidence of possession of stolen goods. Contact your local Police Station to borrow an electric engraving tool and for additional information about the Operation Identification program in your area. Many communities have formed Neighborhood Watch groups to protect themselves from burglars. Through a Neighborhood Watch organization, neighbors agree to keep an eye on each other's property and to report suspicious activities to the Bonham Police. Bonham Police Department.
