Heh, heh.

And maybe your significant other...to say nothing of any room you walk through.

I was considering that but thought it would be indelicate of me to bring up the subject.
But, as it as been broached, I sincerely hope you and your significant other are able to exchange DNA samples occasionally.

It appears perfect for marking camera eqipment. The kit really is only $5.

It allows you to register what you mark. Something I need to do anyway.

Probably a waste is time. Once your camera is stolen its the last you will see of it.

How do they make a profit? I only made a brief look around their website and didn’t find any mention of cost.... annual database fee? Maybe law enforcement pays?

Maybe, but for a one-time $5, it's a better buy than a lottery ticket....and if it gets you only one return, can't buy a used camera, lens or other electronics for $5

Too much work. Your camera and most lenses have serial numbers. Write the numbers down someplace so that if the camera is recovered it can be identified.

Interesting idea. But I sell my stuff all the time, can you remove it once it's on, and can you de-register it when you sell your stuff?

Serial number(s) call insurance company then wait for the check.

My thoughts are how many law enforcement agencies are going to invest their resources in purchasing the UV light, "special" camera, and officer training? The light may not be very expensive, however, the "special" camera probably would cost somewhat more. Just my 2¢.
