Another thought I had after all this talk of stolen empegs <shudder> - I think most all models came with the serial # on a sticker on the bottom, but the metal 'serial' number area wasn't engraved - I'm going to a trophy shop tomorrow to get it done.. Having the serial number engraved onto the outside of the case may assist if someone tries to re-sell the unit. I may go one step further and have my contact details engraved on the top of it too.. the personal touch!

Does anyone know if the serial # is also written/engraved/acid etched/tattooed inside the units?
