Security Tracking of Office Property

Protect your laptop for only $25!

The key to the S.T.O.P. program is a "unique, tamper-proof patented plate, with barcode and indelible tattoo – a simple, inexpensive solution to three major problems associated with overseeing office equipment: theft prevention, equipment recovery, and asset tracking."

• The security plate is sealed to your computer case. Requiring up to 800 pounds of force to remove, the plate bears a unique ID number, a warning message, and an 800 number (to call for ownership verification and anti-theft information).
• An Indelible Tattoo — underneath the plate — is automatically chemically etched into the case when the plate is sealed.
• If a thief succeeds in removing the plate, a "STOLEN PROPERTY" message — permanently embedded in the casing — would be revealed with your company ID number and the 800 security phone number.
• A bright red Police Identifiable Warning Sticker adds to the deterrence effectiveness.
• The device makes the computer worthless for thieves since it is virtually impossible to resell. It allows rapid tracking of lost or misplaced equipment.
• Each plate ID number is registered in the S.T.O.P. international database, along with the equipment description and ownership information.
• A simple 800 call to S.T.O.P. quickly verifies the legitimate owner. Stolen property is reported to the anti-theft hotline. S.T.O.P. will immediately help to notify the police and register your property with the FBI and INTERPOL.
  The cost is $25.00 for a three-year period
