The truth is that no matter who you are, where you live or where you work, no one is ever truly safe from theft. It’s also a costly and time consuming exercise to try and recover your stolen goods, especially when no preventative measures were put in place to begin with.

Checkmate is designed exclusively to assist people with tracking down and recovering their valuables by registering their items on the secure Checkmate database. The easy-to- use system allows members to register their products by providing model numbers, serial numbers or unique specifications to make it easily identifiable.
The database is available completely free of charge to police, insurance companies, pawnbrokers, and the general public to search, with the aim of deterring anyone from selling potentially stolen goods and property.
If the worst happens and you become a victim of theft, you can be assured that your items are recorded and secured by Checkmate. Anyone, including pawnbrokers and the general public, looking at buying second hand items can access the Checkmate database for FREE to confirm the item they are buying is being sold legitimately, and if not, have the ability to contact the rightful owner or police, letting them know the status of the items.
If police, pawnbrokers or members of the public recover stolen items that are registered with Checkmate, they can also easily contact the rightful owner and reunite them with their stolen items.
Anyone can become a Checkmate member. All you have to do is complete your profile by providing personal details and undertake a simple ID check (so we know you’re the true owner of the products being registered).
From there, simply choose the level of membership required, depending on how many items you wish to register. Whether it’ just a few items or a whole lot more, there’ a membership to suit your needs.
Once you’ve signed up, you can start registering your items quickly and easily by filling in the item details and uploading photos for easy identification
You can also add a status to your item, either ‘FOR SALE’ so people can quickly see you are selling the item, or ‘STOLEN’which will move your item to the top of search results, signalling this item is NOT for sale by its true owner. It’s simple, easy to use and puts you in control of your valuable goods.
