How do you secure your camera and equipment? I was thinking of purchasing one of those gadgets that will etch my name onto the underneath of the camera and equipment. I didn't know if this would be a wise thing to do or not. Any suggestions how to identify a camera as yours? thanks!

"Etching" your name into any commodity is not a good idea in my opinion. Why not just copy down the serial numbers? Then take a picture of each item. Michael H. Cothran www.mhcphoto.net

Okay, I can write down serial numbers. Seems easy enough to do. However, I'm ignorant about how the serial numbers will help me in the event of a theft. Can you enlighten me? thanks!

Serial numbers are used to identify the equipment as yours should it be stolen. Should the stolen items show up at a flea market/2nd hand store/pawn shop or other market the police use the serial # to identify that the item was stolen and who the item belongs to legally. If your equipment is listed on your homeowners policy the insurance company needs the serial #s to verify that the items (1st) exist and (2nd) were stolen and/or damaged. In some states, some insurance companies cover theft even if the items are not first listed on your policy; however, as far as I know there is a dollar limit to this type of claim.
