S.T.O.P. Program
Security Tracking of Office Property

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!
