Following an event as large as the Notting Hill
Carnival it is highly likely
that a number of items of personal property will have
been lost or possibly
stolen. Due to the sheer numbers of attendees it may
not have been possible
to report these losses during the
event.
database. This excellent website contains 27 million accounts
and is the
best register of lost or stolen personal items in the
UK
It is easy to register an account and the guides to
registering items such
as mobile phones, laptop computers, camera and so on
are very clear and easy
to follow.
The important detail that is required is the unique
serial number of the
item that is lost/stolen. This is because when
officers discover property ,
they will check only the serial number against the
National Register and so
any other numbers will not accurately identify your
property.
Even if you have not lost any items it is a good time to create a
free account and register your possessions.The Police anywhere in
the UK
return your property to you!
Mobile phones are perhaps the most common items that
is lost or stolen.
Every phone or
any other device which can connect to a network using a
Sim
card, such as iPads and Tablet computers, contains a 15 digit
unique
serial number
which is referred to as the IMEI number. Careful recording
of
this number is essential when registering your phone
or device.
Once you have registered and seen the array of items
you can protect, please
spread the word among family and friends.
I have an account and have protected all of my
families devices and
identifiable personal property from cycles to
guitars, and I thoroughly
recommend you do the
same.
