Have you ever lost your phone? iPod? Ugh, laptop? It happens everyday – especially to travelers. Electronics get abandoned in airplane seat back pockets, taxis, bathrooms, airport security, hotels, beaches, restaurants and the list goes on.

If you’re traveling this holiday season, or even if you’re not, you are going to want to hear about Global Lost & Found (GLF), an item recovery service, and let me tell you – it is awesome! Now, there is not much you can do if you are a victim of theft, but if you happen to lose your item and a nice fellow citizen comes across your item this is where GLF comes in super handy.

What it is: GLF (now Found Dog) offers reasonably priced E-Tracker I.D.s to put on your phone, computer or iPod/MP3 Player. You can purchase the I.D.s at major retail electronics outlets or through the GLF website. Each label is unique to the item and priced accordingly, plus the price includes lifetime registration. (What a great idea for a stocking stuffer!)

You register the E-Tracker I.D., stick it to your item and it’s good to go. If you leave your item behind, the nice person who finds it can call the number on the I.D. or enter the code online. A box is then shipped to the finder and he/she can mail it directly from their own home, if they wish, to GLF for privacy protection. The coolest part – “finders” receive a cash value gift card reward ($10 or $25 depending upon the item’s category) and they get entered to win a $1,000 shopping spree. Very cool. Therefore, if you’re traveling this year, especially with a handful of kids and lost items are inevitable, I highly recommend this dandy service and it really is a terrific gift – especially for the frequent traveler. Happy Holiday Travels!

    I’ve never heard of GLF. But, I’ve personally used TrackItBack and have had my cell phone and camera returned to me on seperate occasions. They didn’t even charge me any shipping (I think this may be standard with them ?). They’re customer support was awesome! http://www.trackitback.com

    I tell everyone about them!

    Wow! I’ve got to pass this info along to my youngest son. He’s lost more phones than I can count. (Okay…I’m exaggerating. But I swear he’s lost two or three.)

    It’s a make-it or break it time for retailers. The holiday selling season is always a critical time for retailers, but this year this may be even more true. With several retailers already falling victim to a drop in consumer spending,
