It was great to be able to launch Guardian yesterday.
We truly believe that it will make a substantial difference to the recovery of stolen guitars. It tackles the low rate of recovery (estimated at under 3%) in a number of ways:
1. By allowing a subscriber to easily record details of their guitars in a structured and secure way. Up to 80 fields of information on each guitar and up to 25 high resolution photos
At present we estimate that only 4% of guitars which are listed as stolen have both a serial number and good photography – making it really difficult to find them.
2. By offering a One Click alert service if a subscriber is unfortunate enough to loose a guitar – this makes the details available on a multiplicity of sites across the internet:
- www.facebook.com/stolenguitaralerts
- www.twitter.com/stolenguitars
- blog.dbtwang.com
- weekly email alert
and on the relevant forums for that make/model
Having launched the service we will now be working to constantly improve it – and cooperating with others in this space globally to constantly make life more difficult for guitar thieves.
