A page that tells whoever finds your property how to reach you, at an address short enough to write by hand. No application to install, no tag to buy, nothing to replace when the sticker falls off.
01 Schedule of charges
One account covers all three. Nothing renews by itself — at five years you decide again, and until you do the page keeps answering.

02 The method
Every other version of this needs you to buy their tag, scan their code, or keep their application installed. This one needs a surface and something to write with.
Marker on a case, engraving on a frame, ballpoint inside a hat. Punctuation is irrelevant — (533) 548-9494 and 5335489494 are the same page.
Generate one for a laptop lid or a luggage tag. It points at the address you could have written by hand, so a scuffed code is never a dead end.
It is only text. Anything that prints text can carry it, and there is nothing proprietary to reorder when it wears off.
03 Procedure
We text a code to prove the number is yours. Until you enter it, the page does not exist to anybody else.
Keys, laptop, camera bag, instrument case, a child's water bottle. One number covers all of them.
They reach your page, or a form that reaches you privately. Either way they can give it back.
04 Disclosure
Chosen per record, and changeable after something has already gone missing.
The page shows what you put on it — a name, an email, a number. Nothing is displayed that you did not enter yourself.
The page shows a message form and nothing else: not your name, not your number, not whether the record belongs to anybody at all.
The finder's message reaches you. You choose whether to answer, by email or by text, and whether to offer a reward. They learn nothing about you unless you tell them.
05 Plainly stated
The things worth knowing before you write this on something that matters.
A number is a lease, not property. Numbers get recycled. Whoever proves control of one by text holds the slug; documents do not override a failed proof, because that is the only rule that cannot be talked around.
Nothing resolves until it is proven. An unverified claim is a private draft that expires. Typing in a stranger's number returns exactly what typing in an unregistered one returns, which is the point.
We are a registry, not an authority. We record what an owner tells us and what a custody log can evidence. We do not adjudicate ownership, hold anything in escrow, or replace any government register.
