RFID for Asset Tracking?

[stoofa]

We've been putting Asset Stickers on hardware for many years.
They are quite simple tamper proof "Property Of" stickers and each one has a unique number.
This system works fine.....until assets go missing somewhere in the building and we are unable to find them.

We came up with this cunning plan.
How about sticking RFID stickers on each asset as well.
With the use of a handheld device, in theory we should be able to search and locate machines that have been "put away somewhere".

Has anyone here used RFID for asset tracking?
If so, where should I start looking with regards the stickers and scanners.
A search shows many sites, but nobody seems to put pricing up nor does anyone recommend a partiuclar company to use.

Thanks for the replies.
I was wondering if there was anything "Car Tracker" style out there.
So you've got a RFID sticker on all hardware.
The handheld scanner is looking for an RFID tag giving off a particular asset number.
Walk into a room, if the scanner gets the response from the asset number we are looking for, we get a little directional arrow

This would be the ideal solution as machines and laptops that get chucked under desks, in cupboards etc could be found.
