EDIT: OH duh, I didn't read back thru the entire thread...everyone else has already mentioned this! Now we just need the puna registry where folks can register their colors (tongue in cheek).
I used to live in a warehouse full of metal artists - lots of tools that all looked the same. Once a year we'd haul them out to Burning Man for a month & they would disappear. We came upon an easy solution - we each picked an individual color scheme & spray painted our tools. It makes them easy to identify, even from 30' away & they don't get stolen as much...I'm guessing it's hard to re-sell a tool with a gaudy paint job.
In my case, my stuff is spray painted bright yellow with hot pink smiley faces + my initials. Some of my guy friends don't even want to *borrow* them much less steal 'em, LOL.
I'm going to take the extra step of dremmeling my name in when I get everything to Puna, since you can paint over pink & yellow
