Are these still current and do the police have the relevant kit does anyone know?
I'm looking for a cost-effective deterrent to add to a disc lock and don't want the financial commitment of a tracker. I'm aware that nothing is 100% thief-proof, so want the more casual thief to think I can't be bothered and move on.
Looking around all seems to have gone a bit quiet on these, so I was wondering of they still are of use in terms of the police having kit to read them. There's a bit of anecdotal evidence on tinternet that the cops don't have the kit and so not much use really.

some polices come with a clause/warranty requiring you to send in your membership of any such scheme that you declare at the time of policy proposal
if you have a theft claim.
ticking or un-ticking the box on the online quote form made no difference to the price but as i cannot find the information and the sticker has worn off with the code on, its too much of a fag to try and resurrect the forms i just ticked no,
i'm not sure it makes any difference anyway to the attractiveness of the bike, plenty of new bikes with factory fitted tagging/dotting go missing never recovered and I've yet to read someone got nicked as a result of any scheme - except smart water and that was none bike related
