Why is it regarded as senseless to put a postcode on something in the UK. If a stolen article is recovered by the police (or a lost article is found by someone else) and the postcode is noticed, then the owner of the postcode is identifiable as living in one of less than 20 houses. That *much* improves the chance of the owner getting his property back but I do not know how many properties are covered by one ZIP code in the USA. That said, I would not often use an engraving tool, but would often use a UV marker pen.
        Perhaps I should also add that I have not moved house for nearly 25 
years.
