Gadling Gift Guide: Tech For Travel {Gadling}
Nov 28th 2012 8:49AM The cost of a lost laptop is $49,246. Here’s a great idea for protecting your phone, tablet, laptop and even your camera, keys, luggage and passport while traveling. Two years ago, I found mystufflostandfound and obtained tracker tags for Okoban, a free global lost and found service. I placed tracker tags on all of my valuables.
It paid off in Rome. I left my passport at a cafe at lunch. That afternoon, I received a text message from Okoban saying that my passport was reported found. I did not know it was even missing. The café reported the found passport’s tracker number online and I was immediately notified (text and email).
I called the number in the text message which also listed the location for retrieval. My Okoban tag from mystufflostandfound on my passport saved my trip. No hassle. Good karma.
Okoban is the only property registration system linked to the airline industry World Tracer system used by more than 330 airlines in more than 2,200 airports and hundreds of “Frequent Finder” locations in hotels, restaurants, railways, transportation companies and public facilities worldwide.
Okoban is a subsidiary of Travel Sentry, the company that licenses the TSA accessible locks sold by hundreds of luggage manufacturers worldwide and currently carried on millions of luggage products.
