Never Worry About Lost Items Again with the Okoban System at MyStuffLostandFound.com

Japanese culture has a deep respect for the the property of others as shown by the countless stories of people turning in lost items to the Koban or “police box” located in each neighborhood. Also in the Japanese culture, putting the letter “O” in front of a word is another sign of respect. Therefore Okoban is a way of paying respect to this great Japanese institution.

Okoban reflects the spirit of the Japanese culture and extends that system from the Japanese neighborhoods where it began to the rest of the world. This free global service enables finders to return lost items to their owners after the purchase of a tag or tag combos.

The system is easy to use for both users and finders. All the owner has to do is buy the tag and register it online at Okoban.com and then you go about your business. Should you lose an item with the Okoban tag on it, the finder will be able to use your tag to enter the UID on the site and you will be notified that your lost item has been found and will be returned safe and sound.

Okoban is used in over 2,200 airports globally and on 400 different airlines. These airlines use the Okoban system to automatically notify passengers when their lost property is found. What makes the Okoban system especially effective is that it is linked directly to the SITA/IATA WorldTracer System. This allows airlines to quickly return found property and improve customer service.
