Now this is a fabulous theft and loss insurance for your phone, PDA or laptop!
But first, before we go any further, did you know that you can purchase damage insurance for your cell phone or phone-PDA through your carrier? That’s right, for just a few dollars a month, most carriers like Cingular, T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon, will cover your device with insurance so that if it breaks, you can get a replacement. The same holds true for other electronics devices – most electronics stores now offer a buyer protection plan against accidental breakage or if if the thing just stops working.
But what if you simply lose your device or, worse, it gets stolen?
StuffBak to the rescue! This is a fabulous theft and loss protection service! It’s called StuffBak because it helps you get your stuff back (get it?) and it’s kind of like those microchipping i.d. services for pets, only it’s for your portable electronic devices, such as your laptop, your PDA, and your cell phone! It’s basically loss and theft insurance for your portables! And through a partnership with The Internet Patrol and StuffBak, you can get a 10% discount off their already incredibly reasonable pricing!
Here’s how it works: You sign up for the StuffBak service and once registered you get a special registration number. Then you purchase special i.d. labels for your stuff, and those labels offer a reward for returning the device, a toll-free number to call, and your unique registration number.
The Internet Patrol is completely free, and reader-supported. Your tips via CashApp, Venmo, or Paypal are appreciated! Receipts will come from ISIPP.

And these are no regular tags. They have them in all shapes and sizes (even one you can put in the pull-tab of a zipper, and one that fits the inner arm of your sunglasses!), and are equipped with a special durable adhesive. Here is what they say about one of their laptop labels:
A tag designed for road warriors! This tough little aluminum tag combines anodized aluminum with an aggressive adhesive backing. The low profile tag is .005� thick and provides a highly durable and elegant solution to protect your most important portable assets. This tag stands up to the rigors of every day use, and will protect your asset(s) for years to come. Includes lifetime registration and 2 years free returns.
After affixing the label to your stuff, if you lose something with one of the i.d. labels on it, whomever finds it, motivated by the easy reward and the toll-free number, calls it and StuffBak arranges to receive your item for you.
When your stuff is returned to StuffBak you are instantly notified by email, and then they ship it back to you – and if you have upgraded to their ‘premium’ service, which is only $19.95 for five years, the shipping is free!
You can purchase full packages (registration and X labels of assorted types), or purchase the labels individually – each label comes with 2 years of protection. The labels are only a few dollars each.
