Original Toronto Star caption: Metro insurance agent Terry Welbanks; left; observes while client Clyde Carson tries out new general insurance tool-a vibrating engraving pencil. The idea-called Operation Identification-is to make valuables identifiable and thereby make it tough for thieves to find a market. With loan of the pencil you engrave your driver's number on cameras; bicycles; tools and TV sets.
