what a great idea! I don't have a fancy camera phone but then no one would steal on of my quilts! I hope yours comes home

I haven't read every page of this post, so I apologize if I am repeating.....has anyone thought of the devices that are being implanted in pets in case of loss? I have no idea the expense, but if a quilt is worth hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, why not install one of those gizmos?
