   Best system I have used is string tags with a little form
rubber stamped on one side and a "trouble report form" with
the same information.  (sometimes it needs to be taped on the gear)
   including:
   Name and model of equipment, location, problem, date and the person
reporting it.  (the "trouble report form" can describe the problem
in greater detail)

   If the tag is on it it is broke, when it is gone it is not.
