The manufacturer of a technology that will allow police to identify the origin of stolen heavy building equipment said a deal is in the works for a major insurer to offer a price break to owners that use the marking system.

Identification Technologies at the same time announced yesterday they have combined with the National Equipment Register to use the DataDotDNA marking technology and NER's database services to create an identification and registration system to deter equipment theft and aid in its recovery if stolen.

Rohan Claringbold, president of Identification Technologies in Seattle, Wash., said the arrangement being discussed with the insurer would provide full coverage for equipment and waiver of the normal $10,000 deductible.
