While browsing on LifeHacker, I came across a service in the US called ImHonest.com. This is where you register you phones, laptops, etc and put a sticker on them so that people can contact you (via ImHonest) should it be found.
ImHONEST.com | Online Lost and Found Service, ID Tags & Labels to Report and Return Items of Value
Has anyone ever come across a similar service in the UK? Any good or bad experiences?

14th September 2009, 06:47 PM #4 In a similar vein, I was in a neighbouring town last Saturday morning and I found a wristwatch. When I handed it in at the local police station the woman behind the counter looked surprised & said that they rarely had things handed in so often, 'as most people tend to keep the things they find'.
I though to myself it might be the town itself, as most people that live there now are a bit chavvy - that's why I moved away. And no, I'm not being snobbish.
