A CITIZEN WISHING TO REGISTER AN ARTICLE CAN GO TO HIS DISTRICT POLICE HEADQUARTERS AND GET THE USE OF AN ENGRAVING PEN TO MARK THE ARTICLE SO THAT IT CAN BE IDENTIFIED IF IT IS LOST OR STOLEN.

THE SWEDISH POLICE CLAIM THAT THEIR CENTRAL PROPERTY USING DATA PROCESSING IS THE FIRST SUCH SERVICE IN THE WORLD. --IN SWEDISH
