Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006024692A1] The invention relates to enhanced restoration of lost property (102) to its rightful owner (112). The invention relates specifically to a method for restoring lost property to its rightful owner utilising mobile station and data network technology, in which an identifier (200) is affixed to the property (102) for guiding the finder (302) of the property in restoring the property. The identifier comprises an individual code (206) and the service provider's (108) contact data (208). The finder (302) sends said code (206) to said service provider (108) in a text message using the contact data (208) and the service provider (108) compares the code with codes in his database that relate unambiguously to the property owners (112) and sends the finder's (302) contact data in a text message to the mobile station (118) relating to the primary number of the property owner (112) corresponding to said code (206).
