If the DataDot location can be
detected by black light, wouldn’t it be possible for thieves to find the
DataDots and remove them?

Motor Vehicles
Up to 10,000 DataDots are sprayed on each motor vehicle or boat, making it
impossible for thieves to find and remove them all. Key components will
also have many DataDots on them.

The DataDot application
instructions advise that DataDots should be applied to valuables in both
visible and hidden locations. In addition, it
is suggested that at least five DataDots should be applied to each
valuable and that a number of “false” glue marks that do not contain
DataDots should be made as well. Correctly following the application
instructions will make it very difficult and time consuming for thieves to
detect and remove all of the DataDots on an item.
What kind of adhesive is
used to attach the DataDots to the surface of the identified item?
DataDots are suspended in a
water-soluble ultra-violet light sensitive adhesive that becomes tack free
in approximately 30 minutes and fully cured in 24 hours. Once the
adhesive is cured, it is clear and water resistant.
What
if I need more DataDots?
Additional pots of DataDots
can be ordered from Identification Technologies. New DataDot numbers will
be different from the your initial DataDot number, however, the system
supports the registration of multiple DataDot numbers to a single user.
Can I get an insurance
discount when I implement the DataDot Identification system?
Identify USA is working with
various US insurance companies to provide homeowner, business and motor
vehicle insurance gap discounts. Contact your insurance agent to find out
about whether or not your insurance company offers discounts for customers
that make the effort to implement the DataDot system.
If I implement DataDot, do I
still need an alarm system?
While the DataDot system is
crucial for recovery of valuables and subsequent conviction of thieves,
the warning labels that are included with the DataDot system have also
been proven to deter thieves. In fact, measured results from DataDot
Identification programs indicate that more than 80% of the time, thieves
move on after realizing that a vehicle, or property and contents are identified by
DataDot. While the DataDot system has been proven to deter thieves
without the ongoing expense of an alarm contract, it can’t
prevent a robbery to the extent of a professionally installed alarm
system. Therefore, the best way to protect your family and valuables is
to implement both systems.
