FREE SmartWater will be given out to village residents at Rubery Library between 10am and 2pm by Coun Peter McDonald.
Residents mark their valuables with the high-tech liquid which has an individual DNA code.
If items are stolen they can be returned to the rightful owner by checking them against a database.
And such is the reliability of SmartWater, if a thief or someone who has handled stolen goods has the individual liquid on them, it can be used as evidence as part of the criminal case against them and has led to convictions in the past.
