UV Invisible Ink Pen Permanently Marks but Don't Deface

By Steve Thibeault

Crime is at an all-time high and it is a shame that you have to worry about somebody depriving you of all your hard earned belongings. It is not easy to find the resources necessary to buy valuable items these days, to worry about your keepsakes and things that have sentimental value. Security is a major concern always, but you need to know that there are now ways to enable you to sleep at night by identifying all your items.

If you are worried that some of your items may be stolen or otherwise misplaced somewhere amongst your daily travels, why not consider using a UV invisible ink pen? They do not cost a lot of money and can mark your property with a special identifying code. As the ink cannot be seen with the naked eye, you will not be defacing any valuable item.

If you are unfortunate enough to suffer a break-in to your home or to your car, you might find that valuable property has been stolen. If you have marked the property with the UV invisible ink pen you will have placed a permanent mark which is very easy to see when using an ultraviolet light.

The beauty of a UV invisible ink pen is that it can mark all types of surface, including paper, wood, glass, plastic and cloth. Being invisible to the naked eye, it doesn't matter where you mark the item as once you have done this, you do not need to worry about claiming your stolen or lost property.

Law enforcement officials and pawn shop operators alike are used to scanning valuable items with an ultraviolet light. For example, if you go to a pawn shop and present an item they will first look it over for markings that have been placed there with a UV invisible ink pen. You had better be able to identify those markings right away if they show up, as some kind of theft is apparent otherwise.

Your drivers license number is the most common way to mark your valuables when using a UV invisible ink pen. Attach the state abbreviation as well as the number and then police authorities anywhere will be able to get in touch with you should your item show up somewhere or be recovered from a thief.

All of your valuable items should be marked with the UV invisible ink pen as soon as you buy them. Don't put it off until later as you will likely forget, just mark them right then and there. Also, write down all the details including the date of purchase into a special log and keep this in a very safe place. To help you describe any lost or stolen items to the police, take some photographs as well.

There is no doubt that UV invisible ink pen markings are the best way to protect your most valuable items and assets. These pens are a great investment and make sure that you put them somewhere safe and don't need to go hunting around when your household gets a new arrival.
