Default Has anyone had a dog returned because of the microchip?

I will be taking both Sebastian and Matilda to be neutered within the next few months. Matilda is already microchipped, but Sebastian and his sister, Gidget, are not. Nor is Kalina.

My problem is that I have read so many things on lost dogs where the Vets feel it is a violation of someone's privacy to scan the dog they bring in. I would like to think that if one of my pups were stolen I could maybe get them back if someone takes them to a Vet and they scan the dog and find out that it belongs to ME and not the person who is bringing them there. (I understand that if the person finds a dog and asks for it to be scanned that is a different story.)

Is it worth having them microchipped? I would be very interested in hearing from people who have had their dogs returned because they were microchipped and whether or not the dogs were stolen or lost/found.
