Property Theft Protection and Recovery

SNAGG's unique secure property registry enables owners of SNAGG-enabled  property to enjoy theft deterrent protection, enhanced property recovery (should your personal property be lost or stolen), protection of origin (necessary to prove authenticity when assets are sold or traded), and discounted personal property insurance rates.

When your personal property and valuable assets are enabled with SNAGG protection you gain a built-in deterrence against theft, loss, and fraudulent sales of your property if lost or stolen.

SNAGG provides its manufacturing and retail partners with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, called SNAGG Microchips. SNAGG's technology is flexible, and adaptable to many personal property items and assets you own. Including but not limited to; firearms, antiques, tools, fishing poles, small engines, musical instruments,  computer equipment, electronic equipment, artwork, snowboards, skies, and other treasured items you want to protect.

When a customer purchases a SNAGG-enabled item  to protect assets they simply register their item on our website for free - it's that simple.

Proactive individuals who wish to protect their valuable personal property on their own may purchase a SNAGG retrofit kit that can be installed by themselves, a handyman, a music instrument repair shop, instrument builder, or an antiques specialist. The SNAGG retrofit is a simple operation that will not alter the value, appearance, or quality of your valuable asset in any way - as the SNAGG Microchip is embedded inside your personal property or other valuable asset.  

Owners of SNAGG-enabled items are able to access their assets on SNAGG’s secure website. Changes to customer data in the SNAGG database may only be made by registered customers.

Law Enforcement officials are able to access a special section of the SNAGG website to recover details about reported stolen assets ONLY at the request of a registered SNAGG customer. No other access to the SNAGG database is permitted, under any circumstance. This means your information is kept private, until you alert law enforcement of theft.

The cooperation of Law Enforcement and related private property protection organizations is a key element in the SNAGG recovery system. SNAGG has enlisted the advice of the California State 2nd Hand Dealer Investigators Association (CSDIA); the National Association of Property Recovery Investigators (NAPRI); and, the FBI's Art Fraud Division in the design of its asset registry.

SNAGG also provides RFID-based integration services for supply chain, logistics, inventory control, and/or materials handling systems for musical instrument and other valuable asset manufacturers.
