>>279623 I have to admit that my idea was not original.
When I was starting out, I would rent any equipment that I was short on from Samy's. All of their rental equipment has inventory numbers written in that bright metallic marker, and inventory labels on them.
I started doing the same with my equipment to keep it from walking off, and I think it has worked.
I use a p-touch labeler, and it has my studio logo along with an inventory number and is clearly marked on the label as well as in metallic marker. It is on the bottom of the barrel of all the lenses, the bottoms of the camera bodys, and the backs of all the strobes. If you have rented from Samy's, you know where all the labels are.
In addition, all the parts of the equipment that would face the client during the shoot has stickers that look like the attached image. The laptops have laser engraved graphics, with the studio name and inventory number on them as well as labels and various pokemon stickers.
Kills the resale value, so I imagine it discourages people from stealing it.
I don't care about resale value anyway because I break most of my equipment before I can sell it.
