Somerville Anti-Theft program

I just saw a notice about this last night at the library. The City of Somerville has an electronics registry to deter theft, especially from vehicle break-ins. Has anyone given this a try? Does it apply to electronics in the home as well? (I recognize that those are less portable, but I'm wondering if the Somerville system permits usage of their registry if it's not related to vehicle break-ins.)
