> When I got home Sunday, there was an e-mail from one of my
> friends.  He and his lady are fencers in Aethelmearc and
> they had their gear stolen from them.  The list of items to
> watch out for is at the bottom of this e-mail, but it also
> brings home the need for marking your goods.
> 
> I checked with a friend of mine who's an officer with the
> Denver PD and he gave me several suggestions.
> 
> 1) Mark your equipment. Etching is good, engraving is
> better.
> 2) He recommends that you use your driver's license and
> state abbreviation - this is easier for the police to track
> and it means a better chance of you recovering your goods.
> 3) If you can prove that an item is yours-- you can get it
> back from a Pawn shop-- if not, you'll have to buy it back.
> 4) If you're holding an event, check with the local police,
> many times they will have an engraving tool that they will
> lend to you for the purpose of marking your toys.
> 
> When I thanked the friend for his advice, he thanked me on
> behalf of the officers who's jobs we'll be making easier.
> 
> Stay well my brothers and sisters
> and keep your blades safe!
