Luggage, electronics, passport. Travel comes with a lot to lose.
At airports, hotels and train stations, belongings go missing every day. A QR sticker gives a finder a way to reach you.
Protect your items nowWho is this for?
Travel involves a lot of moving parts: terminals change, time zones blur your focus, and belongings move in and out of bags dozens of times during a trip. In every transition there is a moment where something can be left behind.
Travellers face particular challenges compared to losing things closer to home. You are in an unfamiliar place, may not speak the local language, and a lost item can mean a missed connection or significant unexpected costs. A lost passport abroad is a serious situation: getting a replacement at a Finnish embassy can take several days and costs around 140 euros. Airlines handle tens of millions of delayed or lost bags worldwide every year.
Airlines do find a lot of bags, but matching them to their owners can take days. Hotels find forgotten items weekly, but they do not always make the effort to track down the owner.
Typical loss scenarios
Luggage at the airport
A suitcase does not arrive at the destination or gets mixed up with an identical bag. Without identifying details, recovering it can take days or weeks.
Electronics in the hotel room
A charging cable, headphones or tablet is left in the hotel room during the rush of checkout day. Calling the hotel lost-and-found from abroad is awkward.
Passport on public transport
A passport falls onto a train seat. The next passenger has no way of knowing how to contact the owner.
Camera at a tourist attraction
You take photos at a sight and leave your camera bag on a bench. After the tourist crowd moves on, it is gone and no one remembers whose it was.

How does Kadonneet help?
For travellers, it matters that the QR code works without a separate app anywhere in the world. The finder only needs an internet connection and a smartphone. The form is available in Finnish and English, so an international finder can make contact.
Attaching a sticker to your suitcase makes it easier for airport staff: they immediately have a clear way to return the bag to its owner without your name or address appearing on the label.
An email is sent as soon as the finder scans the code and submits a message, so you know about the find even if you are already in another country. That speeds up the response and reduces travel disruption.
