I also re-sell many of my gadgets. I have never defaced something with an engraver. However, my point was that it may be worth labeling with removable ID because there do exist honest people and you'll improve your chances of recovery. If you lose an electronic device in a public place, even if found by an honest person, what can they do with it if it's not labeled?
Also remember, insurance is collective risk management. As such, we all pay for insurance claims. I would think maximizing the chance of recovery would be a virtue.
I've had things returned to me.
