Trackitback prevents lost passport panic

Many valuable items lost abroad are never returned by their finders, not because they are dishonest, but because the logistic problems deter them from doing so.

Only the most conscientious finder is prepared to hunt out the owner’s address, pack up the item and pay for the postage, relying on the owner’s integrity to make good their expenditure afterwards. However, a new product on the market, Trackitback, makes the task much easier and offers a lifetime protection against the loss of a passport, a laptop, a mobile phone, an MP3 player or a digital camera.

Trackitback is a range of unique identification labels that can be
purchased for £9.85 each from www.trackitback.co.uk.

Each label carries a unique registration code and a freephone number. If the finder rings the number and quotes the code, Trackitback will arrange the collection of the lost item and deliver it back to the owner without further charge.

When an item carrying a Trackitback sticker is lost abroad, it can be registered on the Trackitback website to speed up the process if it is subsequently found.
