Frequently Asked Questions.
1. What is Crimestoppers Property Protector?
How does Crimestoppers Property Protector work?
Propery Protector is a clear liquid solution, each bottle containing a unique combination of micro-particles.
Each mark made by the security liquid solution comprises of a variable number of proprietary microparticles. Each microparticle is made up of a variable number of layers. And each layer will vary among a proprietary set of colors. Because our microparticles are as small as 5 microns (a human hair is approximately 80 microns), you can’t see it with the naked eye. This means that a potential thief doesn’t even know that you are protecting your valuables.
By varying the number of microparticles, their number of layers, and the colors, and using our patented encryption algorithms, each mark is designed to create a unique numeric code, a StealthCode™, which is licensed to a customer for their exclusive use.
Finally, because the encrypted microparticles are dispersed in a way which creates a random pattern when the mark is physically applied to an item, we can capture the characteristics of how the encrypted microparticles are dispersed in an “expression matrix.” And with the combination of the encrypted code and the expression matrix, we produce a mark which is as unique to each item as a fingerprint is to each human – a StealthPrint™. With this type of “simple complexity”, a StealthPrint™ is impossible to compromise.
Simply by dabbing a tiny amount of Property Protector onto your possessions, you give them their own coded fingerprint – registered exclusively to you via the website.
That ‘fingerprint’ can’t be seen by the naked eye, and is virtually impossible to remove - but police scanners can identify the particles on the spot, helping to reunite stolen items with their rightful owner.
The Police regularly check for Crimestopper Property Protector markings and we actively raise awareness of it, security liquid is known by criminals to protect property. By displaying Crimestoppers Property Protector deterrent stickers on your property, windows and doors you are sending out a powerful warning.
Will it be expensive to mark all of my items?
No, Property Protector is far more affordable and cost effective than competitive technologies such as holograms, DNA strands, or RFID. As only a small amount of the security liquid needs to be applied to each item a large number of items can be protected with a single bottle. A single 5ml bottle is enough for over 100 protective marks. For larger items it is advisable to mark at item in a few different places.
Isn’t a UV pen just as effective?
UV pens simply leave a mark on property and as such the property can’t be tracked back to its rightful owner. They are not therefore a secure solution for marking property. Also UV pens need a suitable surface area on which to write your details, such as a postcode, which is not practical for smaller items or jewellery. Also there is nothing to stop a thief from marking over the top of any identifying marks with another UV pen and obscuring the original markings.
How can my property be traced back to me?
Each Crimestoppers Property Protector bottle of solution has a unique numeric code, a StealthcodeTM, and this is registered along with your name and address details on the secure ImmobiliseTM database. In the event that any of your valuables are stolen and subsequently recovered by the Police they can check the unique code on your property, on the spot if necessary, and match that unique code with your details on the ImmobiliseTM database.
Are there any restrictions as to what I can protect?
No, Crimestoppers Property Protector can be used to mark and protect virtually any personal, household or business item – from sentimental personal items like rings through to TV’s, Cameras, Computers, Consoles, Jewellery, Music Systems, Mobile Phones, Sat Navs, Golf Clubs, Sports Equipment, Work Tools, Garden Equipment.

Is Crimestoppers Property Protector restricted to indoor use?
No. Property Protector is heat, chemical and crush resistant – the microparticles can even survive explosions and is therefore suitable for products used out of doors. Ensure you carefully read the instructions supplied with your security liquid solution for the best results.
Can I use the security solution on my car or motorcycle?
