Immobilise is a free service that allows you to record the details of as many of  your possessions as you wish on a secure, offsite inventory. If you wish you can upgrade your free account and add photographs and certificates of ownership. It is the largest service of its type with over 15 million registered users, 22 million items registered, and over 16 million stolen items recorded.

The recorded information can help you after loss, theft or fire to complete insurance claims, report stolen or lost property to the Police and mobile phone networks. Uniquely via your Immobilise account UK users can flag any registered item as lost or stolen and this appears, (complete with pictures if you have recorded them) on the National Police Stolen property database allowing them to identify you as the owner of the stolen property and return it to you.

The information also appears on www.checkmend.com the database that allows the public and secondhand trade to check if an item of property they wish to buy to registered as stolen.
