BoomerangIt

BoomerangIt (800/226-6648, www.boomerangit.com) offers a global “lost-and-found return service” in which PDAs, cell phones, laptops, luggage and even keys that are tagged may be returned to the rightful owners.

Anyone who finds a tagged item can contact BoomerangIt online or call an 800 number. Boomerangit arranges the return; the finder pays nothing to return the item and receives a reward. 

Providing service for four items, the international “Traveler’s Pack” includes two labels (for portable gadgets) and two tags (for luggage). It can be purchased at select sporting goods, consumer electronics and travel goods stores or for $14.95 on the website. (Domestic packs cost less.)
