Electronics
Electronics are often targeted by criminals. Please record the serial number on flat screens, lap tops, IPODs, MP3 players and GPS navigation units.

Brand-Specific Serial Numbers
If you have a Dell computer, Dell uses the service tag number and express service code as the serial numbers. Please store these as the serial numbers. If you have an iTunes account, the serial number for the iPod will come up in the account when you log onto your device.
