That's just another marketing opportunity though - selling uv lights to
geezers in the pub so they can tell if what they're being offered is stolen.
What I don't understand though is how you sell any of your own goods that
you've marked with the stuff. Will dealers have access to the government
database of smart water signatures? Will you have to take your ID card to
prove it's yours? And what about the second legitimate owner? How does he
go on when it's got your signature all over it?
