would this Deter you from buying used gear????

All I have to say..... What does engraving personal information on possessions have ANYTHING to do with SNIPERS????

Us citizens of the USA have been living under Paranoia since this country was founded. This Paranoia has made this country may ultimately destroy us.

If you doubt me, watch the Michael Moore movie: Bowling for Columbine. Moore may go a bit over the enge in the movie, but he raises some very serious points.

Anyway, I refuse to give into fear. I will never engrave my gear or anything else I own per se. If someone really has the will to remove my 150 lb speakers (each) from my house and steal them... well they better not try it when I am home or they better not let me catch them... heh heh. All I can say is that the market market on really high end gear is so small, it would be very difficult to unload anything I have (cept maybe cables) without arousing some sort of suspision (where is that spell checker when I need it). Even then... would the criminals know what the gear was worth? heh heh.

If everybody did this then at least you would have a readily available record of the item's ownership. With electronics you could apply the ID info out view by engraving the interior top panel of the equipment.

Yes, especially if the words "Bunker Down" were engraved along with the ID #.

My thought is I wouldn't want to get any gear that was stolen from me back since it was probably abused. That's why we have insurance.
