You raise a very interesting point. In the past, I have usually engraved my Washington state driver's license number on all of my valuable equipment, be it audio or other stuff. However, since the last major upgrade of my audio/HT system, I have NOT engraved anything, precisely because I'm concerned about decreasing the potential value of the gear if I sell it. I have, however, subscribed to a good national home security service which should prevent/deter theft.
In response to Karls question, there are two main reasons that people are encouraged to engrave their driver's license number on expensive equipment:
1. to make the items harder to fence;
2. to make it easier for the police to recover stolen belongings.
I'll be interested to read the comments of others on this topic.
