Dots Mark Theft War

Newcastle Herald

Wednesday July 31, 2002

NEWCASTLE residents will be the first to trial a revolutionary new security measure which is designed to deter household theft.

More than 30,000 Novocastrian NRMA Insurance holders will be invited to take part in the `DataDot' campaign, which will be launched in Mayfield today.

The campaign involves marking household items with microscopic dots to certify the rightful owner of the property.

Each DataDot will be imprinted with the owner's driver's licence number.
