   @wtrmt promising a reward is not my thing. Generously giving a reward however is :) Putting just my name and a phone number on things has worked remarkably well for me. I got my keys back that way at least three times. Within less than an hour after I forgot them and left them in a taxi, a bar and a gym respectively.

     @jwildeboer I’ve been working in the banking industry in a country where there’s a highly sophisticated group of thieves looking to get your credentials.

     It is very bad.

     We were prohibited from using any kind of links or QRs.

     I like the idea of the stickers. Maybe a short message and your phone number may be enough.

     Test both of them!

     @jwildeboer I’m being paranoid here, but this looks like those USB drives with malware in them, left by spooks in the parking lot of the Iranian Uranium Enrichment facility. The vector for the infection in this case is genius.

     You may want to add a bit more information about the QR or leave it out altogether. It would be great if it was directed to a WhatsApp profile (even if you already have your phone there)

     @wtrmt No. I give two options. Call me or scan the QR code. Or do both. You immediately go for the “how can this be abused” option while I focus on the good people out there. Think about that. Why are you so paranoid? ;)

     I printed the first few on 12 mm tape with my Brother QL-500, which is really small, but they work flawlessly, so I am putting them everywhere now :) Here's one on the back of my remote! (bonus points if you can deduct which remote this is. Hint: older than some of you around here, but still in daily use by me :)

     Inspiured by Casey Neistat, who explained this idea and the underlying optimism that people are good back in 2013 in this clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uan9DWR2n0Q

     I created a (hidden) lost+found page on my blog and am now printing little stickers with the QR code that points to that page. Gonna put them on all my devices and gizmos and when I lose/forget them someplace, I trust the finder will Do The Right Thing and contact me. (picture does NOT have the real QR Code)
