Recently joined a neighbourhood support group, as one of our neighbours was burgled, and this was brought up:
Police recover thousands of dollars' worth of stolen property every year. Unfortunately many items cannot be returned because the owners did not record the serial numbers or mark the property so it could be identified as belonging to them. Worse still, the property may have to be left with the thief. http://www.ns.org.nz/index.html/Fact...umberRecording

The cop who was speaking to us said it was also useful for insurance claims after the ChCh earthquakes.
