Every QR code is unique - a pack of 24 has 24 different QR codes. This means you can apply them to 24 different items or split them between different Boomerang accounts. It also means you know exactly what item has been lost, or you can rehome the individual item.

Phones, wallets, keys, headphones, passports are all great to tag, and if you lose them you definitely want a tag on. But make sure to also tag your water bottle, the item we see most commonly returned. 

The contact details and information they can see are totally controlled by you, it can be nothing. By default they see a big orange "Found me" button to send you a note through Boomerang. 

Manage what other information finders see when scanning the code by default. You may want your passport to be different to your water bottle! Simply click 'Manage' from the home screen to control what individual products show. Read more about how it works here.

The tags are passive and do not track you. 

No app, save that memory in your phone! Finders and owners manage everything through the website app.

All codes can be scanned by standard phone cameras.

All of the tags come with subscription free features. 

PLUS and FAMILY PLUS allow users to get more from their tags in addition to the free features.

Email only. We would skip the email but need it so we can notify you about any lost items!

A study dropped wallets with contact details across 40 countries (355 cities, 17,000 wallets) and found wallets with money were returned over half (51%) of the time - almost double the expected rate. In the UK the return rate was even higher at 72%! 

The results shocked economists and survey respondents who expected people to act selfishly. 

Why do people return items? The researchers concluded 1. people are concerned for the owner, 2. "people want to see themselves as an honest person, not as a thief" and as soon as they keep an item that self-view changes. 

They also added “the results show just how prevalent civic honesty is".

No nametag, GPS or bluetooth tracker can stop theft from a finder, we are no different. But the truth is very very very few people in society are thieves.

A pack of 24 tags can be split between up to 24 people. Each person just needs to scan and register their tag to their account. 

If a tag is already registered to someone, they need to rehome the tag for you to claim it.

Once you click rehome, they will be able to scan the code and claim ownership of the item.

Select manage on the item, then select delete. Please note this can not be undone.
