Stolen skis - Police Database

[Lostinthezone]

Last season my Rossi's were stolen from Killington. I recently had my laptop stolen from my condo and when I filed a police report this cop told me to record this information in a database that cops nationwide can access. I posted my laptop and I also registered some items I still have. This is a great idea and you should have a look.

Juststolen.net

It seems that the site encourages you to register all of your valubles, cool idea. Bet thiefs would love to get their hands on that database. :lol:

Hey check with the local pawn shops in the area, u would be surprised just how close to home the stuff usually ends up at...

No chance for thiefs to look at what you own

I spoke to one of the cops at Juststolen.net about thiefs looking to see what I own.
Tom said that only law enforcement can acces, if the site were to be hacked the only information they require for sign up is:
First name , email & zip code.

Tom said if anyone has a question you can email them info@juststolen.net or call
781-828-4332. He also sent me a couple of links to police departments that encourage all to use:

Police database - stolen skis, boards etc.

Imagine this: On a dreary Monday morning you board the train into work with your laptop for the start of yet another long work week. As the train pulls into your station you sleepily stand up and dash out the door for the platform along with dozens of other commuters. But wait! You’re missing something. You forgot your laptop on the train! You rush back inside the train before the doors close and look frantically under your seat. But your briefcase with your laptop is nowhere to be found!

This situation is more prevalent than you may think. In 2003 there were more than 600,000 laptops stolen (Safeware Insurance, 2003 report). That’s more than 1,640 laptops stolen every single day.And to compound the problem, even if the police were to find the thief and recover your laptop, they have almost no idea who owns it or how to get it back to you! Why? Because you never wrote down the serial numbers and the paperwork accompanying it is long gone. You filed a police report, but with no serial number to report, your laptop could be stored away in some police evidence room with thousands of others just like it across the state or across the country, never to be returned to you again.

That’s where JustStolen.net comes in. Our website was established by Police Officers to assist consumers, college students and business owners retrieve lost or stolen valuables. The website is a powerful database that members can use to register their personal property. Any descriptive information can be entered into the database including make, model, color, serial number and any thing else you can think of. You can even upload photographs of your items.

But along with the other great advantages of being a member, there are two fantastic features about JustStolen.net:
• Once your items are registered, if they are ever stolen or lost you have all the information you need to give to police. Your descriptive information about the item has been stored in our secure database.
• But here is the best part: When your item is recovered by police across the state or across the globe, they only have to log onto one simple-to-use website to search for its owner. They just enter the serial number or description of your laptop, iPod, DVD player or other valuable, and the item’s description and the email address that you entered when you first registered is there for them to contact you!

Your valuable item won’t be sitting in some far away evidence room, because the police now know who the owner is, and they have an easy way to get in touch with you. It’s as simple as that! Your property is returned and there’s no need to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to replace it.

And best of all, JustStolen.net is FREE to use; free for consumers, college students and business owners, and free for all law enforcement personnel. There is never any charge to use our service.

What are some of the other benefits of how JustStolen.net gets your valuables back to you?

• There’s no need to fill out time-consuming insurance claim forms
• No insurance claim means lower premiums

• You, the victim of a crime, can now assist the police in a successful prosecution of the thief
• Police won’t waste precious time trying to find the owner of recovered merchandise, freeing up time for crime fighting

• Police only have to search one powerful database for owner information when they recover lost or stolen goods
• No contracts to sign

Starting to smell spamish in here. To be quite honest, I took a look at this website a while ago and it looked way too "low end" for me to investigate into registering any further.

You'd think a security expert would know to register his domain privately to prevent a whois search.

 

[riverc0il]

actually, it is required that your contact info be listed when you register a domain. sucks, but whatever. you can make alternative contact information so your actual address or home phone isn't listed. but you gotta list something.

 

[BeanoNYC]

actually, it is required that your contact info be listed when you register a domain.

I'm no expert on this, but my domain is registered private. I paid a few dollars extra to have a "buffer" company register it under their name. If any one whois's me they have to go through that company, which in turn asks my permission, to get my private information. The service was through godaddy.com.

 

[riverc0il]

yea, alternative contact info. i edited my post just after posting it to clarify that option. wasn't worth the extra cost to me. besides, they still have my MA info listed so it doesn't bother me any, heh.

Well it wouldn't bother me to have a public profile if it were a normal site. This site is for my students to check up on assignments and tests. I don't want my students showing up at my door "just to say hi." LOL! I would post the url here for you guys but I'm paranoid that my skiing/riding students may lurk. I'm more than happy to pm the url to my friends here if you'd like to check it out. Steve, check your pm's...

Just wanted to say thanks

I saw a posting in regards to stolen boards and I had one stolen last spring. I called the officer who started that database and he was very helpful.

Database is juststolen.net

Seriously, Lostinthezone, I think we've all heard of this by now. There's no need to create aliases to try and further promote your site...
