Just a little though re the cris system. I worked in North Yorkshire Police Control Room for a number of years. regularly, the roads in the York and surrounding areas would be subject to the Traffic Commisioners along with the Police Traffic Officers stopping Caravans and other traffic for safety and ownership. one of my functions on those days was to check the stolen caravan records and cris registers. the results of the checks were very successful, most days we recovered at least 2 caravans and stolen property whilst the traffic Commisioners would check the vans for weight distribution and other safety checks.

Whenever a caravan was seen with a registration plate that did not match the towing vehicle it was stopped for a check.

Every time someone was arrested in our area for theft related crimes the thiefs house would be subject to a search and if there was a caravan there it is also checked, in my opinion cris works though I agree a more noticeable way could be found to mark Caravans, having said that it is easy to change a number plate as they do on stolen cars Regards to all. George. 

What do you think of the Cris xtra and putting those 1000 stick ons all over everywhere so the cris number shoes up one way or another. As you have been on that side of it.

Thanks

I was never involved in the actual inspection so cant comment, I dont know what tools the officers had available to find the numbers but the would look at every piece of glass to see if the all matched, if not then all the numbers found would be checked to see if they were on any stolen list.

My son has a motor bike with the id system being sprayed on as multi  micro chips (cant remember the name of the system) The police have a scanner that reads the codes that cant be seen with the naked eye, my thoughts on that are that it is a great benifit because if it is stolen for parts then every piece will be able to be identified, so if the Cris Xtra is similar it must be a good thing

Sorry cant be more specific, another thing I do with all my property is to deeply scratch my postcode on the back in big letters. so if anything is stolen i.e tv or radios, fridge etc the buyer can check if it is stolen on the police  systems by just going to a police station and reporting it, I am not the least bit worried about disfiguring it as I dont sell second hand items to anyone, also it makes for fast indentification if anyone is caught  with suspected stolen goods (saves hours of police time with the checks on serial numbers that people dont record )

Regards, George 

Yes it is similar thats why they give you 1000 to stick on everywhere. So they will go everywhere also.

Thanks George. Mine lot comes through week 5-10 Nov. so there is a lot of  bits we will have to stick everywhere.But if its another deterent it will be worth it. Like your scratching your p.c ebay +car boots come into easy selling places.
