Advice: Lost and Found Goes High Tech - No More Family Vacation Stress. 016AdviceImHonestFor families on vacation losing or misplacing stuff is a daily occurrence. Usually the stuff is located but not always and when it is lost stress sets in – not ideal on any vacation – right? But ImHONEST.COM has a solution worth considering.

Here's the scoop. In the last year our family has lost three cell phones, one Ipod, and a bike. Yes, we have insurance but a replacement is not the same as the original with personal contacts, phone numbers, and unique playlists. In the same year I have found an Ipod (not my child’s), a cell phone (not mine), a set of car keys with assorted keys to match, and an expensive pair of sunglasses. In each case – losing or finding - it is stressful.

The fact is stuff just gets lost and around kids more stuff has the potential to go missing or get lost. According to PCWORLD, more than 85,000 cell phones, 21,000 PDAs and 4,500 notebook computers are left behind in taxis every year. Disneyland collects about 300 cell phones a week, along with various personal digital assistants and iPods. In one calendar year Londoners 4,973 laptops, 5,939 Pocket PCs 63,135 mobile phones in registered cabs. Add to that airplanes, trains, Starbucks, amusement parks, and restaurants.

I agree with the folks at ImHONEST, generally people want to return lost items, but it can be complicated because often times there is no way to know who the owner is and there isn't a simple hassle-free way to send items back to the owner. Well, now there is an easy way to return lost items to the rightful owner. ImHONEST.com bridges this gap between lost and found with solutions to ease stress for everyone.

Founded in 2004, Atlanta-based ImHONEST.com is a non-traditional lost and found service that provides identification and recovery for items of value. In addition to offering an affordable and user-friendly solution for owners to proactively label and register their valuables, ImHONEST.com makes it easy for the finders of lost items to act on their honesty. 016AdviceImHonestCamera

Two of the most common reasons that lost items are not returned to their owners are the inability to identify the owner of the lost item and the lack of an easy way to return the found item. The ImHONEST.com system, with its user-friendly label registration and reporting system, solves both of these issues. ImHONEST.com makes it easy for finders of lost items to return the items to their owners by providing: personalized labels containing a unique ID code; choice of toll-free, and online "found item" reporting; more than 4,000 drop-off locations at all of The UPS Store® locations; pick-up service from any residence or business location; support for international shipping of found items. As for the reward, the person who returns the item receives $30 worth of ImHONEST labels to use for their own valuables.

In keeping with the company's mission to promote honesty and aid those in need, 20% of the online purchases of ImHONEST.com labels is donated to charities. Before finalizing an online purchase, customers choose a charitable organization from a list that includes organizations such as World Vision, Doctors Without Borders and March of Dimes.
