[cool] Being in SoCal, we hear alot about theft and ways to safegaurd your things. There is one more way that I would like to contribute to those who may be interested. If you don't already have one, there are small electric engravers that you can use to inscribe your name, or social security number, or any other identifying factor about yourself in an inconspicuous area.
I like JRs idea about the removeable but cap for your rod. In addition, you can mark them on the shaft where the reel attaches to the handle. While your at it, the base of the reel can be marked as well in the same area that makes contact with the shaft. If there are any concerns about possible anodizing that may be on some reels and rods, you can use Lonehunters idea of the superglue to seal it afterwards or also a small amount of thread sealant that is used in rod building. Keep it safe out there and keep your stuff secure.
