I used a dremel and marked my surname and postcode in the top of the pot and on the crankcase. The two bits that are hardest to remove

Aye any solid surface where you can engrave is gd. I use my first to letters of my surname and my last four of my old service number. But anything will do as long as toucan remember it bud

I posted a thread called means and methods of protecting your kit from theft.

I believe you will find the information very helpful:thumbup1:

on same topic. If anyone has had any sthil machines knicked in the local area, York police have a few they have lifted in a recent raid. I went down on Friday to have a look at a blower and strimmer. Both looked brand new no serial no's and alas not mine. Don't know what others they had, they would not say.

Firstly I engrave on the back handle/tank and chain break cover where it can be seen then inside the the covers on any metal surface I can get too .
