Millfield and Pallion residents are being urged by police to log their property and help catch thieves.
Police officers will be handing out leaflets encouraging people to sign up to free web-based service Immobilise.
The national scheme allows people to register belongings and residents will be provided stickers to attach to them.
If anything is then lost or stolen and recovered by police, officers will be able to identify the owner, return their goods and investigate criminal activity.
Tony Carty, a Neighbourhood Inspector, said: “Bikes, mobile phones and laptops are just the start of what can be registered on immobilise.
“In fact, the more items registered on the database, the easier it is to find the owners of any recovered property.
People can register their property free on www.immobilise.com
