BoomerangIt (800/226-6648, www.boomerangit.com) offers a global “lost-and-found return service” in which PDAs, cell phones, laptops, luggage and even keys that are tagged may be returned to the rightful owners.

Anyone who finds a tagged item can contact BoomerangIt online or call an 800 number. Boomerangit arranges the return; the finder pays nothing to return the item and receives a reward.
