Currently being a victim of theft. My car was stolen while watching the second squad of qualifying in the Werribee Cup yesterday.
I was wondering about the merits of a place where bowlers can register the serial numbers of their bowling balls and other equipment.
Obviously not everyone would register there equipment but with a bit of promotion maybe proshops could suggest it to all their customers at time of purchase. The proshops also usually keep a record of the serial numbers at purchase time, or at least they should.
One could then protect themselves from losing out if they happened to come accross equipment in a proshop or pawnshop such as cash converters. They could simply search the register for the ball/equipment registration number. For that matter those proshop owners who deal in used equipment could protect themselves as well. There would also need to be a facility for change/transfer of ownership to avoid unneccessary hassles to bowlers who sell their equipment.
What do you think Graham? Would a new forum for this be viable? At least with such a facility on Total Bowling it would be probably the only way to have one uniform registrar nationwide.
I'm hoping I will get my stuff back and as I go to Bowlers World will be able to get the serial numbers of my bowling balls to keep an eye out for them.
I wonder what other people who have been in my situation think? What do the people who work in the proshops think?
Regards
Terry
