Benefits

How we can help
There are many ways Nerds can benefit you, your home or your business.

We've listed some of the best.

Best reasons to Register
  • Thieves don't like stealing property that is easily identified.
  • Police have been trying to implement some form of identification for your property for almost 50 years.
  • Without comprehensive details police can't return your stolen items if located. E.g.: Hundreds of Akai TV’s go missing in a year, the police need to be sure the one found is yours.
  • Serial numbers and model numbers provide police with an individual match up. Otherwise the goods are auctioned.
  • Comprehensive records of all your in-home and business contents greatly assist in fast and successful insurance claims.
  • Criminal deterrent labels received upon registration send a clear message that your goods are identifiable, and therefore near impossible to sell.
  • Peace of mind knowing that in the event of theft, your goods are flagged as stolen, anyone running a check on such items will be informed of said item’s status. An email can notify you of the item's whereabouts.
  • Year-round access to one of the most effective, affordable security systems available. You can register up to 250 items for as little as $40.00 per year!
  • Your Nerds records can be presented as proof of ownership at point of sale.
  • Accurate, available records detailing all home contents assist greatly in fast successful insurance claims.
  • No other lost and found service like Nerds exists in Australia. If you lose an item, good Samaritans can contact you via email.

Best Reasons to Search
  • Search results will inform consumers whether an item has been reported stolen prior to purchase.
  • Searching is free, easy and confidential.
  • Protects consumers from knowingly purchasing stolen goods.
  • Protects consumers from potential criminal charges.
  • Prevents consumers from purchasing an item, which may later be confiscated.
  • Legitimate sellers can permit a search to establish proof of ownership at point of sale.
  • Good Samaritans can return found items to their rightful owner, via Email notification. This service is also free.
