If the DataDot location can be detected by black light,
would it be possible for thieves to find the DataDots
and remove them?

Motor Vehicles
Up to 1,000 DataDots are brushed on each motor
vehicle or boat, making it impossible for thieves
to find and remove them all. Key components will
also have many DataDots on them.

The DataDot application instructions advise that
DataDots should be applied to valuables in both
visible and hidden locations. In addition, it is
suggested that at least five DataDots should be
applied to each valuable and that a number of "false"
glue marks that do not contain DataDots should be
made as well. Correctly following the application
instructions will make it very difficult and time
consuming for thieves to detect and remove all of
the DataDots on an item.

What kind of adhesive is used to attach the DataDots
to the surface of the identified item?
|
|
DataDots are suspended in a water-soluble ultra-violet
light sensitive adhesive that becomes tack free in
approximately 30 minutes and fully cured in 24 hours. Once
the adhesive is cured, it is clear and water resistant.

What if I need more DataDots?
|
|
Additional DataDots can be ordered from
DataDot Dealer Services. New DataDot numbers
will be different from the your initial DataDot
number, however, the system supports the registration
of multiple DataDot numbers to a single user.

Can I get an insurance discount when I implement
the DataDot Identification system?
|
|
DataDot USA is working with various US insurance companies
to provide homeowner, business and motor vehicle insurance
gap discounts. Contact your insurance agent to find out
about whether or not your insurance company offers discounts
for customers that make the effort to implement the DataDot
system.

If I implement DataDot, do I still need an alarm system?
|
|
While the DataDot system is crucial for recovery of
valuables and subsequent conviction of thieves, the
warning labels that are included with the DataDot
system have also been proven to deter thieves. In
fact, measured results from DataDot Identification
programs indicate that more than 80% of the time,
thieves move on after realizing that a vehicle, or
property and contents are identified by DataDot.
While the DataDot system has been proven to deter
professional thieves, joyriding thieves may ignore the
warnings.
