5 Tips for Faster Item Recovery

1. Report Immediately

The sooner you report, the sooner our matching engine can start scanning. Delays of even a few hours can mean the difference between recovery and no luck.

2. Add Clear Photos

Items with at least 2 photos are 3× more likely to be matched than text-only reports.

3. Be Specific About Location

Enable location tagging on your report. Proximity search is one of our strongest matching signals.

4. Set Up Alert Subscriptions

Turn on alerts for your item category and area — you'll be notified instantly when a matching item is found.

5. Share on Social Media

Use the built-in share feature to post your lost item on Twitter or Facebook. Crowdsourcing makes recovery much faster.
