That's true, but then there are alternative methods for marking products
which have Ser. No's.
As has been pointed out the "free kit" is then subject to an Annual licence
fee - & there's the rub!
Is it economically worthwhile for a household to pay extra for the Smart
Water system, which *may* only prevent a burglary in the first place if the
burglar actually sees the warning notices *&* is capable of understanding
the technology & the implications it has if he is actually caught in
possession of items stolen from those premises ?
I think it's far more practical to make a one-off payment to invest in good
quality door & window locks & then insure all the contents (maybe on a
'new-for-old ' Policy), whereby all the contents up to £20,00 can be
replaced almost regardless of what caused the loss & entirely regardless of
whether any of them are subsequently found in someone else's possession.
