Community Lost And Found
Losing valuable items means having no way for finders to contact you. RawTag changes this with free lost and found that any smartphone can scan. Powered by good Samaritans who want to help.
The Recovery Challenge
When items go missing, time matters. The faster a finder can contact you, the better your chances of recovery.
Traditional lost and found systems are slow. Items sit in offices. Emails go unanswered. Good Samaritans give up.
How It Works
Create your personal lost and found system.
1Add your important items to RawTag. Name them, describe them, add reward info if you like.
2Generate and print QR codes. Attach them to your stuff.
3If something goes missing and gets found, the finder scans your code.
4They fill out a contact form. You get notified immediately.
Key Benefits
Immediate notification
Get an email as soon as someone scans your code. No waiting, no checking lost and found offices.
Encourages returns
Optional reward messages incentivise finders to reach out rather than ignore lost items.
Better than traditional lost and found
Items do not have to be turned into an office. Finders can contact you directly from wherever they are.
Real-World Example
Picture this: you realise your item is missing. Meanwhile, someone has already found it and scanned your RawTag. By the time you check your email, a message is waiting. A good Samaritan wants to help. You reply directly and arrange the return. What could have been a permanent loss becomes a minor inconvenience.
A Real Story
“I had a RawTag QR sticker on my laptop when I left it at a cafe. The barista scanned it and got in touch with me!”
Felix was coding at his regular coffee shop when a meeting notification popped up. He rushed out, laptop still on the table. Thirty minutes later, a barista found it, noticed the small QR sticker on the lid, and scanned it out of curiosity. Felix got a message while still in his meeting. He picked up the laptop on his way home, work files and all intact.

Prevention is ideal but loss happens. When it does, preparation pays off. A RawTag on your item means you are ready.
