Today’s burglar is often a
•cool, resourceful professional.
It is on record that on a quiet
afternoon thieves will park a
van in a suburban driveway
while the housewife is out
shopping and load up the
valuables in the house .. .
TV, typewriter, stereo players
and more traditional targets
of burglars such as jewelry
and cash.
Skilled, daring thieves like
this are hard to stop ... but
there is help and hope for the
householder through Opera
tion Identification, according
to the Consumers Insurance
Information Bureau.
And householders and
small businessmen do need
help. Latest FBI statistics
show there were over two
million burglaries in 1970, up
72 per cent over 1965. The
1970 property losses of $672
million were even more pain
ful because of the low per
centage of the loot recovered,
most of which could not be
returned because police
couldn’t And the owners.
Operation Identification is
a burglar’s education program
to protect the consumer.
First you provide positive
identification of your valu
ables by etching your area
code and phone number on
them with an engraving
pencil; second you place
stickers on your windows and
doors telling would-be
burglars your property is
marked for Operation Identi
fication; and, finally, the bur
glars are educated by the pub
licity campaign sparked by
the National Association of
Insurance Agents’ public ser
vice agency, the Consumers
Insurance Information
Bureau.
The most approachable ex
perts on the behavior of bur
glars, police departments,
assure us that burglars do

read newspapers, watch TV
(on stolen sets?) and listen to
radios. So the task is to con
vince them that an Operation
Identification home is a bad
risk for them.
If they do plunder an
Operation Identification
house, they’ll have trouble
because marked property is
too hot. If the thief or the
fence is caught with the loot,
he’ll have a hard time explain
ing it. The police can check
with a phone cali to find the
rightful owner.
This program does work. It
has proven itself in Monterey
Park, California, where it was
originated by Police Chief
Everett Holladay in 1963.
When the program started,
about one-half of the 11,000
homes in the community
joined Operation Identifica
tion. Since then, only 23
homes in the identification
program were burgled while
the other, non-participating
half, reported 2,000 break
ins.
Other communities with
property identification pro
grams reported similar results.
In Saginaw, Michigan, police
recovered skis, binoculars and
a guitar stolen from a summer
cottage even before the own
ers knew that the place had
been rifled. The thief had
abandoned the marked loot,
realizing he wouldn’t be able
to unload it because of the
statewide Operation Identifi-

cation program launched by
the Independent Insurance
Agents of Michigan early in
1971. There were 306 bur
glaries reported in Saginaw in
1971, but not one jn an Oper
ation Identification house.
Early identification pro
grams used the individual’s
permanent driver’s license
number to mark property.
However, many states lack a
permanent numbering
system, and many people
don't drive. Social Security
numbers were considered but
they involve a time
consuming tracing effort.
Therefore, the CIIB
suggests area coded telephone
numbers. It is then a simple
matter to telephone the own
er of purloined property,
whether it is a household TV
or an adding machine from a
local business.
Now E Bonds pay 5* % interest when held to
maturity of 5 years, 10 months (4% the first

destroyed. When needed they can be cashed
at your bank. Interest is not subject to state
or local income taxes, and federal tax may
be deferred until redemption. •
