What's the best way to mark swim gear to ID it and help prevent it from being taken by someone else?

This is sort of related to this thread. Theft in Roatan is high (naturally). When I started training for my long swim last May, I would leave bottles of gatorade and frozen water on the beach with my towel. At the end of each mile, I'd get out and hydrate.
Well, the gatorade kept disappearing and I had put some Advocare in with it and it was costing me $$$ because I had the stuff shipped down to me. I finally had had it, so I started putting laxatives in the gatorade bottle. Sure enough the first day, it disappeared, and I laughed my way thru the next 3 miles. I do this periodically and I always hear about an outbreak of flu on West End; it's not the flu.
Now I take all my water bottles in a bag and tie them to a buoy about 50 meters offshore. But my Zoomers do have little fish painted on them to differentiate them.
My gatorade is marked a little differently than yours.
