Kayak I'd - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If theft is a problem for you, you can consider hiding a waterproof tracking device somewhere inside your kayak and follow it's location on a phone app.

Your kayak is covered thru renters or homeowners insurance.

All my stuff is covered thru renters insurance but I also added boat insurance for my Hobie PA 14.

6k coverage for PA and trailer.
2k in gear
100k liability
20k medical in case I get injured on the kayak
$100 deductible

All for $8 a month. Worth the piece of mind if you ask me.

You can always use a Sharpie and write your name/CDL on the inside of your kayak on the underside of the deck.

Nobody will know it is there unless they use a mirror.

Problem is if the cops recover it they won't know it is there either.

all the markings in the world won't help if you cant locate the kayak.

lock stuff up.

In San Diego County, my kayak and somewhat expensive bicycles are always indoors under lock and key. Even that may not prevent theft, but it's better than leaving it outside.

My outback has a vin number on it, though it could be erased with a hot blade.

a friend, Donnie, Registered his kayak as a boat and stuck the numbers on the top of the inside so you would need to take a picture of it to see that their there, if its there.
