Many of us have had this feeling when we reach for something (most likely electronic, expensive and loaded with sensitive data), can’t find it, and then quickly descend into an all out panic when we realize we have left it behind or lost it. Now, there is a 75% likelihood you will get it back if you have used STUFF BAK at http://stuffbak.com (without STUFF BAK the recovery rate is approximately 5%).

Here is how it works. You buy some labels, register them and hope to never need them. If you do lose something here is what happens. On average, 75% of the time you will get a call within two days from STUFF BAK that someone has found your lost item. Details are worked out with you as to how you want to have the item returned.

There is a reward given to the finder for the return and you also have the option to add more. The labels have numbers on them which allows the owner to remain anonymous. This is often necessary for a business, such as the case of sensitive information on a laptop. Companies can also do STUFF BAK private labels for their customers to help with the branding of a consumer product. Currently, individual labels start at approximately $5.00 and packages of labels at $8.00. Businesses receive a volume discount and automatic registration service.

There are options around registering the labels for consumers. If registration seems too much trouble you can buy packages that are already pre-registered. Businesses can use them for their laptops, cellphones/smartphones, cameras, projectors, and other valuable items employees take with them when they travel. You also end up with an inventory of your items which can be useful if you have an insurance claim.

If you think most people don’t turn things in take a look at the media outlets (on stuffbak.com) that intentionally lost stuff with the STUFF BAK labels. 75% of the items were returned within two days. STUFF BAK reports that on Southwest Airlines alone, 140,000 items are left on a plane annually. That is a lot of stuff that could be returned versus sitting in the Southwest Airlines lost and found room. More details are on stuffbak.com. It is an impressive company with a lot of value for a business and individual consumer. So think of what you want to recover 75% of the time and get in touch with STUFF BAK. As a consumer you can also put labels on your sunglasses, watch, kids’ items, etc. STUFF BAK can help you get your items back and with the amount of sensitive data on electronic items these days it is well worth the small amount and time to label and register your items.
