After seeing how Darins kite got ripped off, how would you/ do you put some IDs on your kite?
Seems that using a marker can get marked or painted over.

me and my security system
sharpies are all you can really do.... put a unique mark in an obscure place that you can readily id, but someone else may miss itripsessionkites - 5-8-2011 at 11:04 AM
on some dirt-outs their is an extra piece of fabric there that you write on
some kites have velrco tabs to hold bridle lines, most who put lines on handles always wind them up that way so you could mark the tabs
some of the bags come with colour cards, but if you flip the back you can write your info there.
to be like 007, you could put pop off a cap from your handles and place some information there.
lastly you could write on the inside of the D-Ribs.
my favourite is just buy custom colour kites. LOL.
hope this helps.indigo_wolf - 5-8-2011 at 11:59 AM
@Drew if your car has a black interior, I would suggest opting for:
In the long run, the additional camouflage will result in reduced feeding bills.
FWIW: Ozone kites (at least the ones I have) have serial numbers on them. Any kite that has them marked over or obscured should raise red flags and
you should make the authorities aware of that. Now the big question.... if your kites have serial numbers on them, how many people have actually
recorded those numbers and stored them somewhere safe?
I think in some ways, it just as important (if not more) to keep the horse in the barn. So another thing to look at is....
Do you look at your kites as:
a bunch of nylon?
OR
hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars worth of gear?
Do you:
Leave your gear in your car overnight?
Do you leave gear in the passenger compartment or where it can easily be seen from the outside of the car?
In the name of stoke, is you car obviously marked with manufacturers stickers that makes it easy for thieves to tell whether you might have gear
that's on their shopping list? A perfect example of this is people that have aftermarket modifications (performance or audio) done on their car and
then basically decorate their car with stickers from every manufacturer whose equipment they have installed).
If you haven't already, complained to the pinheads in local government that have slowly started cutting down on the number or neighborhood
streetlights rather than taking the initial financial burn on replacing the street light bulbs with the more energy efficient LED counter parts.
Costs more in the short run, but over time, it costs less to run and lasts longer. The alternative is that you walk down neighborhood streets with
almost no overhead lighting after dark. This has been a real boon to thieves who prefer to break into cars overnight when everyone is sleeping.
Politicians are such shortsighted morons (sorry to anyone in local government, but more often than not.... it's just too common).

OK.... have to ask... cool product. However, UK product with UK contact information. What are the chances that local US police will have be able to
support their end of the recovery/identification process ("Police will then be able to read the unique enigmaTAGTM code, using special particle
scanners). Basically how prevalent is this in the US?
The FAQ seems to focus on the UK Police:
"Do you know the details of the property I have marked?No, enigmaTAGTM does not need to know which assets you have marked; the
ImmobiliseTM database holds this information. ImmobiliseTM is also the only ownership registration service supported by all UK Police forces, the
Greater London Authority, Transport for London and the Mobile Phone Industry."
