I don't understand. You would rather not microchip for that added peace of mind because you don't think anyone would have them scanned if they were found?

That's the exact reason why you
should have your dog chipped because they just might scan for the chip. I can guarantee if I found a dog I would have it scanned, first thing...but if there are no tags and no chip then what? If your dog is stolen and you spot it somewhere that chip may be the only proof you have that it's your dog. As for the chip moving around, when my vet scanned my boys to be sure the chip read they scanned over the entire body, not just the shoulder area...that scanner will pick up the chip on a small dog even if it moved some. I guess it isn't for everyone but I know it did give me a little more peace of mind after I had the boys done.
