Abstract: An animal identification and security system and method assigns an identifying code uniquely associated with each system member and each animal owned by the member. An identification code imprinted on a marker attached to the animal includes information uniquely identifying the animal's owner including a two letter abbreviation of the state of residence, a numerical identifier of the county of residence, and an assigned number designating the owner's ranch/farm within the indicated county. The identification code further includes a letter designation of the type of animal and the individual animal's number within the owner's herd/flock, as well as a two letter designation of the animal's country of origin. The identifying codes are maintained in a computerized system at a central location for dissemination on a global information network for facilitating the return of lost or stolen animals to the rightful owner and to indicate the origin of all registered animals.

Abstract: A property security system and method therefor assigns a property code uniquely associated with each property owning member. The property marker code includes an abbreviation for the state of residence of the property owner, a first numerical code identifying the county in which the member, or property owner, resides or is located, and a second numerical code identifying the township of the owner's residence or location. The township is divided into one mile square portions, with each one mile square portion further divided into quadrants to identify the owner's residence/location to within a 160 acre area. This coded indicia further includes an individual member number for each owner in the property security system. Another embodiment envisions using the security system for marking and identifying individual animals such as used in business with appropriate owner and animal identification and location indicia for identifying/locating the owner of lost, missing or sick animals.

Abstract: A property security system and method therefor assigns a property code uniquely associated with each property owning member. The property marker code includes a two letter abbreviation for the state of residence of the property owner and a numerical code identifying the county in a given state in which the member, or property owner, resides or is located. This aspect of the invention is based on the numerical ordering of all counties in each of the fifty states. The last portion of the alphanumeric property marker code is a number representing the order of membership in the property security system of the property owner registering his or her personal property. The property marking code may also include a number or letter code representing the client's country of residence or location.
