STOP Security Plates include the protection of a chemically-bonded tattoo beneath, stating "Stolen Property", and high-visibility stickers to deter casual “walk-away” theft. Your ability to legally transfer your equipment is unhindered, but if it is ever stolen, the prominent display of the plate or the tattoo completely eliminates illicit resale value. Even a determined thief cannot remove this tattoo and its presence is impossible to explain to potential purchasers.

Beyond theft deterrence, STOP Security Plates help to dramatically reduce administrative workloads while improving equipment security and tracking. The core of the lowest-cost, easiest-to-implement asset tracking system available, barcodes on each plate provide the unique serialization needed for tagged devices to integrate into either the STOP Security Plate Online Registration System or, into our real-time asset management system, STOPMonitor.

The value of STOP Security Plates continues beyond deterrence and management. If equipment does go missing, each plate is marked with a unique registration number, a 24-hour toll-free recovery hotline number is on both plate and tattoo, as well as a website address. As illustrated by our many retrieval stories, these help rescue stolen or lost laptops as well as provide an easy way for finders or thieves to “do the right thing”. The result is a dramatic increase in the incidence of recovery for STOP Security Plate equipped devices.

Standard-sized security plates are easy to affix to laptops and other full-sized devices and can be pre-installed and accurately registered in the STOPMonitor asset management system as part of equipment orders from Dell, HP, and Apple, as well as Value Added Resellers (VARs). Ordering pre-installed means your new equipment will arrive under STOP protection from the very first day.
