What is Crimestoppers Property ProtectorTM & How Does It Work ?
Crimestoppers Property ProtectorTM is a clear liquid solution, each bottle containing a unique combination of micro-particles.
Each mark made by the Crimestoppers Property ProtectorTM solution comprises of a variable number of proprietary microparticles. Each microparticle is made up of a variable number of layers. And each layer will vary among a proprietary set of colors. Because our microparticles are as small as 5 microns (a human hair is approximately 80 microns), you can’t see it with the naked eye. This means that a potential thief doesn’t even know that you are protecting your valuables.

By varying the number of microparticles, their number of layers, and the colors, and using our patented encryption algorithms, each mark is designed to create a unique numeric code, a StealthCode™, which is licensed to a customer for their exclusive use.
Finally, because the encrypted microparticles are dispersed in a way which creates a random pattern when the mark is physically applied to an item, we can capture the characteristics of how the encrypted microparticles are dispersed in an “expression matrix.” And with the combination of the encrypted code and the expression matrix, we produce a mark which is as unique to each item as a fingerprint is to each human – a StealthPrint™. With this type of “simple complexity”, a StealthPrint™ is impossible to compromise.
Simply by dabbing a tiny amount of Crimestoppers Property ProtectorTM onto your possessions, you give them their own coded fingerprint – registered exclusively to you via the Crimestoppers Property ProtectorTM website.

That ‘fingerprint’ can’t be seen by the naked eye, and is virtually impossible to remove - but police scanners can identify the particles on the spot, helping to reunite stolen items with their rightful owner.

The Police regularly check for Crimestoppers Property ProtectorTM markings and we actively raise awareness of it, Crimestoppers Property ProtectorTM is known by criminals to protect property. By displaying Crimestoppers Property ProtectorTM deterrent stickers on your property, windows and doors you are sending out a powerful warning.

FAQ

Q: Will it be expensive to mark all of my items?
A: No, Crimestoppers Property ProtectorTM is far more affordable and cost effective than competitive technologies such as holograms, DNA strands, or RFID. As only a small amount of Crimestoppers Property ProtectorTM needs to be applied to each item a large number of items can be protected with a single bottle.

Also there is nothing to stop a thief from marking over the top of any identifying marks with another UV pen and obscuring the original markings.
