Thousands of homeowners become victims of burglary everyday all over the world.  That could translate to hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars worth of stolen property.  Loss can be especially traumatic if the stolen property is a rare collectible, quite expensive or has special value to its owner.  However, there is a way to help you find stolen property in case a burglary does occur. By using an invisible ink pen to mark and identify the item, you could help locate it, get it back and even prevent further loss.

How does an invisible ink pen work?
An invisible ink pen is a tool that contains invisible ink.  This ink consists of special chemicals that when used to mark an object, will remain invisible to the naked eye.  Only when UV or ultraviolet light is shone on the area marked with the pen can the writing be viewed.

What types of surfaces work well with an invisible ink pen?
The invisible ink pen works with most surfaces, including wood, plastic, metal, glass, paper or even cloth. That means you can practically mark any important property you have so you or law enforcement officers can identify it later in case it gets stolen during a burglary.

An invisible ink pen is also very efficient – one pen is capable of marking as many as 1,000 valuables before requiring a replacement.  It’s also cheap, costing only around $12 each pack, which will also include a portable UV light.

Who can benefit from an invisible ink pen?
People will find the invisible ink pen very useful to help them identify their properties.  It’s also a very important tool for students, teachers, retailers, museum curators and hobbyists.

Other than homeowners, individuals and families, employers will also find the invisible ink pen very valuable in case they want to discourage employee theft.  People who work in offices or plants or those who are involved in fraud prevention will find hundreds of uses for this tool.

For law enforcers, an invisible ink pen is indispensable.  It is commonly used by police and detectives for sting operations in order to track, monitor and identify marked money, drugs, stolen properties and merchandise.

An invisible ink pen also has its fun side.  It’s a common tool for children and young adults, often used for spy games and for hiding entries to diaries and journals.  It also helps implement access control in case of parties and get-togethers in clubs, parks and other exclusive places.

A caveat: an invisible ink pen can be a very effective tool for finding stolen property in a burglary but it will not prevent theft directly. It’s still important to use whatever means necessary in order to protect the things we consider valuable to keep them safe.
