Kill the fricking thieves, instead.

 

I'd go with that just gotta make it painful

I used to spray paint my saws in recognisable colours, light blue or lime green. seemed a shame to spoil a brand new saw but none got stolen. when I stopped painting them more dissapeared

On wheeled machines,I write "Stolen from.........reward offered.followed by phone number." on the rims and inside the tyres.Tyre fitters are not well paid and would be likely to respond to this.(I hope not to have this theory tried out)

 

Otherwise use letter stamps or weld in post code as if ground out they can be acid etched to reveal the original.

 

And photograph all of your unique identifiers!

 

Too many thieves get off due to insufficient evidence and a clever defence lawyer.

i used to work for amey in cumbria, we had a couple of strimmers stolen from the yard. it was all caught on cctv, they climbed over the fence, walked across the yard, picked up the strimmers, threw them over the fence and into thier van. all on camera. the police said they couldn't do anything cos the strimmers would be long gone. not even a phone call for inquires. couldn't believe it.
