Who is this for?

Campus life spreads across many spaces: lecture halls, the library, cafés and shared workstations change throughout the day. Belongings move from bag to desk and back dozens of times, and it is not always possible to stay fully focused on every item.

Students carry electronics worth hundreds or thousands of euros. A typical student carries a laptop and smartphone with a combined value of around 1,000 to 2,000 euros. The laptop is the central study tool. If it is left on a library desk during a break or slips from a lecture hall seat, a finder usually has no way of knowing who it belongs to unless the item has identifying information.

Searching a large campus for a lost item is frustrating. University lost-and-found offices receive thousands of items every year, but many go unclaimed simply because the owner cannot be reached.

Typical loss scenarios

Laptop in the library

You leave your laptop on a desk while fetching a book. When you return it is gone, either picked up by someone or taken to lost-and-found with no identifying information.

Headphones on a lecture hall seat

The lecture ends and you rush to the next exam. Your headphones stay under the seat. The next student has no idea who they belong to, and university staff cannot trace the owner.

Keys at the campus café

Your keys slip from your bag pocket onto a café chair. You only notice they are missing when you get home in the evening and the door is already locked.

Backpack at a student event

At a busy event your backpack gets mixed up with similar bags. Without any identifying tag, a finder has no way of tracing the owner.

What should you protect?

Laptop

High value and central study tool.

Backpack or bag

Often contains passport, wallet and study materials.

Keys

Lost keys can lead to expensive lock replacements.

Often premium devices used in public spaces.

Smartphone

An essential communication and study device for students.

How does Kadonneet help?

On campus, items are often found by other students or staff members who would be willing to return them. The problem is that they have no way to contact the owner.

A QR sticker solves exactly that. Attach one to your laptop, backpack or key ring. If the item goes missing, the finder scans the code with their phone and reaches a form where they can leave a message. Your personal details are not visible anywhere: the finder only sees a contact form.

You receive an email notification when someone scans the code, so you can act quickly. The service works without a separate app, and one annual membership covers all your belongings.

Frequently asked questions

Does the finder need an app to scan the code?
No. The QR code works directly from the phone camera, and the finder is taken to a web page. No registration is required.
Will the finder see my contact details?
No. The finder sees only an anonymous contact form. You receive a notification by email and decide yourself how much information to share in your reply.
Is the QR sticker durable enough for campus conditions?
Stickers are designed to withstand moisture, abrasion and normal daily use. They work outdoors too, so campus conditions are not a problem.
How many items can I protect with one membership?
Unlimited. One annual membership covers all your belongings.
What if I find an item with someone else's QR sticker?
Scan the code and leave a message about what you found. The owner will be notified and can arrange collection with you.
