When I originally built the Surly I decided - wrongly or rightly - to go with Datatag to tag the bike. I also registered the bike on BikeRegister.com.
However now I've just been reading about Immobilise.com:
Immobilise do pretty much the same thing as BikeRegister but the service is free and appears to be touted by the local police a lot more frequently than BikeRegister. This is probably because Immobilise don't focus only on bikes, they allow you to inventory any number of items of property that you want to add an extra level of security to against theft, so it's a winner with the police in terms of covering a lot of different things in one database.
So, yes, worth a go I thought. More 'belt and braces' never hurt (although a bit of a PITA to update both BR and Immobilise... should stick to just one really!).
The benefit of Immobilise is they allow uploads of photos to the site for free (whereas bikeregister charge you for image uploads). I edited a photo of the Surly and added in various arrows pointing to the datatag sticker + transponder locations, hopefully that will help if it ever comes to it.
