Sony handheld found in a restaurant
I wasn’t even aware I had lost my Sony handheld until BoomerangIt called. I was
screaming with joy: ‘The little sticker worked!’ I am a believer in the product
and am getting more BoomerangIt labels.

Palm handheld on a New York train
I lost my Palm on the commuting train one Monday morning. I tried and contacted
the Lost & Found at the train station but no one got back to me. It was very nice
when you called to tell me someone had found and returned my Palm pilot to you.
This pleasant experience gave me a lot of hope, humanity, and human kindness.
Luca, costume designer, New York, NY
Palm pilot at Newark Liberty International Airport
I missed my flight at the Newark airport and started making calls to return to New
York. That's how I lost my Palm pilot. I was desperate. I called everywhere...but
no one had it. I was hoping that someone would find it and would contact me as I
had my personal information in it for emergency cases like this. But no one called.
Then, four days later, I got an e-mail from you saying that you found my handheld.
I tremendously appreciate the service. I was skeptical about it first but decided
to register as I like trying new things and it sounded cool. I have lost 2 Palm's
before... I didn't think anyone would return this one. You have my best wishes for
your company, guys! I'll be speaking highly of you and your service from now on.
It was miraculous.
Ramiro S, media producer, age 30-40, New York, NY
Seiko handwriting accessory returned
I do appreciate what BoomerangIt did for me. It is a very convenient service and
it works! Having my Seiko handwriting accessory back is very important for me as
I use it for work. I have already recommended BoomerangIt to all my friends.”

Palm handheld left at a Holiday Inn in Utah – back before you know it!
I left my Palm PDA at the Holiday Inn Express in Utah I was staying at while passing
through. I called the hotel and they told me they had already contacted BoomerangIt.
I was very happy that it was all done before I even knew the item was gone. The
cute thing was that the finder was just as excited as me.
Kelley P, housewife, 40-50, Woody Creek, CO

I'm so happy you found my Toshiba camera. It is great! It was used for a work event
and the pictures are still inside the camera.
Rossanne W, Park Ridge, IL
Palm handheld returned, no need to buy a new one
I knew that I lost my Palm. I was resigned to have to buy a new one. But in the
back of my head, I knew that I had put that label on it. I was so glad to hear from
BoomerangIt.
Dave S, Tigard, OR
Canon camera returned in less than 6 hours!
In less than six hours from reporting our canon camera, which was lost at the greater
Cincinnati airport, it was already found! It is wonderful to have my digital camera
back (it is an expensive one) and know that there are still honest people out there.
Ramon C, technical consultant for Blue Cross, 36, Jacksonville, FL
Palm PDA found at a convention center in Switzerland
The moment I realized that I had lost my palm, I was very upset: All my very personal
data are now in someone's hands. Of course I forgot to backup… After calling around
many times, I gave up. The bigger was the surprise when I received an e-mail from
BoomerangIt! Thank you very much BoomerangIt crew!”
Michael B, dentist, 31, Bern, Switzerland
Sony Ericsson cell phone lost at a London theatre, returned to owners in Germany
Dear BoomerangIt,
Our phone was unintentionally left in London during a quick trip yet immediately
we were contacted and arrangements made for its return. The BoomerangIt product
was a key component to receiving our phone back to us so quickly and in perfect
shape. We are sold on your product and will be labeling more of our assets with
your tags and stickers to protect them as well. Thank you again for your service...it
has turned out to be very worthwhile.
Bart and Kim T, Ramstein Air Base, Germany
Palm pilot returned – no more lost brains
I've lost a Palm pilot before and to be getting this one back is great! There is
so much important information in there, it's like losing my brain. And to find my
brain is a good thing. It's nice to have my Palm back since it is also an expensive
one ($400).
Tony A, spa owner, 40, Santa Fe, NM
Palm pilot and valuable data returned
It would be an understatement to say you saved my life. There was so much valuable
information on the Palm pilot. I am very impressed about the return. My wife has
a Palm pilot and she will be registering as well.
Kevin Van E, Ph.D., Chicago, IL
Backpack with keys, camera and ID’s returned while on the move
It's fantastic that you were able to contact me by kpack. I had everything in there
– keys, camera, ID, personal stuff. I put an ad in both the local paper and on a
radio station and had no luck. I also notified the Police and Sheriff's department
and still no luck. I'm just so excited to be getting everything back. It was the
BoomerangIt tag that got my things back. Thank you!”
Carol C, Clear Lake Shores, TX
Stolen Pioneer car stereo returned by Carson City Police, NV
My car was broken into and my Pioneer car stereo was cut out. I totally forgot about
the BoomerangIt label. It was my parents who had registered and paid for the BoomerangIt
service. Then, a few days ago I got a call from the Carson City PD telling me they
had my stereo and the burglars. It was the BoomerangIt label that helped the police
track me down. The BoomerangIt label is the only reason that I got my stereo back.”
Melissa A, college student, 17, Gardnerville, NV
Palm handheld on Heathrow Express
That is great news! I left my Palm on the Heathrow Express train. I was absolutely
devastated. I would have never gotten my Palm back if it wasn't for Boomerangit.
Lots of love.

It is a pleasure doing business with you."

Palm handheld found on an LA bus
I lost the Palm pilot on a bus. I thought it was stolen, first. I'm really relieved
it was found as it had a lot of family photos in it. It's a tool I use every day.
Has both professional and sentimental value. Great relief!
Paul L, music teacher, 33, Los Angeles, CA
Palm PDA on a plane back from Tokyo
I left my Palm pilot on my plane on my way back from Tokyo. I did report it to American
Airlines but no luck. All my phone numbers and information are in the Palm. Very
appreciative I got it back. I thought I’d never get it back. It's very important
to have my Palm in this age of electronics."
John R, electro engineer, Whitehall, MD

I don't know how I lost my Pentax camera. I know I lost it while in the UK. I lived
there - in Ilkley, West Yorkshire. It's great to get it back.
Jaime C, student, Winthrop, MA
Palm handheld returned to student
I was incredibly happy when I received your e-mail. I was screaming and hugging
my girlfriend with joy. I honestly did not think whoever found the Palm, would return
it. I got the Palm not a month ago. I'm incredibly happy.
Nick H, student, Gainesville, FL
Palm PDA at the Greater Cincinnati Airport
I lost my handheld at the Cincinnati Airport. It must have fallen out of my bag
either at security or at the flight gates. My life is in that device. Very thrilling
to have it back!
Laura R, real estate agent, New Albany, OH
Toshiba camera at Macy’s
You made a miracle happen. I kept inquiring at Lost & Found at Macy's and nothing,
nothing. I felt so foolish I left my Toshiba camera at the mall and did not hold
onto it. I was already looking at the catalogue to buy a new camera.
Max K, retired engineer, Arlington, VA
Motorola cell phone on a JetBlue airplane. Company uses BoomerangIt.
I left the cell phone on a JetBlue airplane. It was extraordinarily gratifying to
receive my phone back efficiently and quickly. As a result of this, my company is
now using BoomerangIt. We’re putting BoomerangIt on all our phones and shortly on
all our computers.
Robert T, investment manager, Orinda, CA
The system really works!
I’m thrilled to death the system really worked. And you bet, I’ll be renewing my

you.
Paul H, database manager, San Jose, CA
Palm PDA returned to business owner
Awesome! I feel much better since I got your e-mail. No idea how I lost the Palm.
I searched everywhere. When I received your e-mail, I was so relieved, so happy.
I'm so glad to have your service. Will go to your website now and purchase more
labels.
Scott Y, business owner, Ossinning, NY
Toshiba camera at Newark International Airport
I rushed at the Newark Airport and left my Toshiba cell phone in my seat. This ruined
the whole flight home. Having it back is great. I could not believe the service
actually worked. I will definitely recommend your service. I actually already have
- to my friends.
Monique C, real estate agent, Venice, CA
Car keys found in London
I lost my keys between my car and my office. I wasn't sure if someone picked them
up from the office or if I dropped them from the car. I am driving my car now wondering
if someone might have my keys and know which car they match to. I already changed
my house lock but with car keys it's different. They're very important to me.
Sandy B, real estate agent, London, UK
Twice the benefits!
BoomerangIt has been very beneficial to our family because twice now keys have been
returned to us. We deeply appreciate the service. We've been using BoomerangIt for
several years and you have always been very helpful in every regard. I highly recommend
that you sign for BoomerangIt today.
Reverend John K, Jefferson City, MO

I left my High Sierra backpack on the bench in front of a restaurant. BoomerangIt
is a great service! I was excited as I'd only had the backpack for three weeks.
Israel Y, restaurant general manager, Indian Trail, NC

a surprise you were able to find it. I appreciate the effort you're taking to get
it back to me

Happy to have my Palm back as it has ton of information on it that I need.
Anand S, student, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
Palm PDA in parking lot on a main shopping street
Oh, my God! You found it. Where? No idea how I lost my PDA. It was in my shirt pocket.
Must have fallen out of pocket while I was getting out of the car. It means a lot
to have it back. I have all my addresses and schedules in there.
John O, pharmacist, Charlevoix, MI
Company cell phone and irretrievable phone numbers returned
We thought this Samsung cell phone was lost forever. It belongs to a company employee.
We use BoomerangIt for our office. It had phone numbers that were unrecoverable.
BoomerangIt is a great service!
Harris L, Director of Technology for interior architecture company, Washington,
DC
Returned Palm handheld keeps business going
I set the Palm down by the lockbox in front of a house I was showing to a client.
It means my complete life and income to have it back. This Palm is the heartbeat
of my business. It's a miracle!
Barbury S, real estate agent, Portland, OR
Keys found in a parking lot
These were keys for my bike lock and for the padlock for my home security storage.
The padlock is almost impossible to open without keys and I have thousands of dollars
in computers in that storage.
Robert G, security guard, Prescott, AZ
Cell phone in a cab in Jacksonville, FL. Returned by cab driver.
That's wonderful! Very anxious to get my cell phone back. I think it came out of
my pocket in a cab in Jacksonville, FL. I'd love to provide a testimonial or talk
to the media. I'm faithful to the service. This is a great success story. I praised
the service to everyone I know and that was even before I lost the phone.
Scott J, president of electronics distribution company, Moorestown, NJ
BoomerangIt helps dreams come true
I'm the biggest fan of your service as I can be. It's already proved it's working.
When I lost my Palm, I thought I'd never get it back. Thanks to BoomerangIt, a dream
has come true. Something I thought was gone forever is back again.
Martin W, elevator technician, Toronto, Ontario
Toshiba camera at New Orleans convention center
That's great! I lost my Toshiba camera at the convention center in New Orleans.
I am shooting an independent movie, which is in post production and had pictures
in there from a location-scouting that are actually more valuable to me than the
camera.
Odin L, show coordinator and an independent movie-maker, New Orleans, LA
Bag with digital camera, camcorder and family memories in Tony Roma's parking lot in Portland, OR
Our bag with Toshiba digital camera, a video camera and memory cards fell out of
our car in a restaurant parking lot while we were traveling in another part of the
state. We did not even realize it was lost until I received an email from BoomerangIt.
The finder went out of her way to return them to us. She went above and beyond!
It is much more than a camera; the pictures on the disk are memories with our family
that can not be relived. Thank you BoomerangIt, you saved our memories!
Kelli S, air force, Woodinville, WA
Reward labels return finder’s cell phone, bringing the service full cycle
Really? Can’t believe someone turned my son’s cell phone in. It was stolen. Makes
me so happy to get it back! I’ve been feeling without touch with my son. We actually
started the BoomerangIt membership when we reported a found Palm handheld and received
the labels as a reward and used them for our own items.
Mary S., mother of student Brian, Gilbert, AZ
Palm handheld at the mall
I found out what it feels like to lose my handheld, with no hope of seeing it and
all my personal files and information again. My credit card info was stored in it,
too. To be notified by Boomerang that it had been found was the greatest relief.
Thanks Boomerang for being so helpful!
Scott M, Kelvington, Saskatchewan, Canada
Nikon camera left in a pub in Ireland
I never expected to see my Nikon digital camera again, since my son left it in a
pub in Ireland. And here we are now back in San Francisco getting your call you
found it - what a wonderful surprise!
David V.E., Lafayette, CA
Stolen suitcase with Palm PDA and all valuable contents returned by Swiss Police
I travel to Switzerland a lot on business. I never expected to hear back my Palm
was found. It was stolen from me together with a suitcase with other valuable belongings.
The Geneva police caught the thief and was able to return the Palm, the suitcase
and all its contents to me thanks to the BoomerangIt label. BoomerangIt has been
very beneficial to me. I will renew the service and use it on other items as well.
William S, IS Services Manager, Plainsboro, NJ
Palm PDA at Walt Disney World Casting Center, Lake Buena Vista, FL
I can't believe it. I lost the Palm a year ago. I thought I left it at the hotel.
I checked several times and eventually bought a new one. Now I'd like to renew the
service for the old Palm and register the new Palm as well. Thank you so much.
Anne B, Fredericksburg, VA
Stolen Palm PDA returned by Delray Beach Police within hours of theft
I had my stolen Palm returned to me within hours of the theft with the help of BoomerangIt
and the Delray Beach police department. Thank you so much. I am so happy. You don't
know how bad I need it the Palm pilot.
Barbara M, Fort Lauderdale, Fl
Stolen Compaq laptop returned by Reno Police, NV
You're fabulous! My Compaq laptop got stolen since I left it in a friend's car,
which got burglarized. Getting it back is very nice as it is a very expensive item.
I want to get more labels for my new laptop and other items.
Kodi E, stay-at-home-dad, Sparks, NV
Home, office and car keys returned
My husband and I just bought a new business. We were working late one night. He
was waiting for me in the car while I was locking the office. I must have dropped
the keys. These were my office, home and car keys. We went whole weekend without
realizing the keys were missing. Then, we went: ‘Oh, my God. What happened to those
keys?’ Fortunately, our neighbor from the ballet school next door found them on
the street in front of the office and called BoomerangIt. We were so happy. We love
your products.
Eleanor K, company owner, Pacific Palisades, CA
Camera at Dave & Buster's restaurant
I had taken some family pictures with the camera and put it down while playing a
game at Dave & Busters back in the summer. I searched for it everywhere and went
to their Lost & Found several times and finally gave up till I received your call.
I appreciate it and also appreciate the finder turning the camera in.
Judy D, housewife, Pittsburgh, PA
iPod and noise-canceling headset back from a safari in India
My daughter came from a safari in India without her Solitude headset and her iPod.
She flew from Delhi to Paris to New York in a two-day trip home. I guess she was
very tired and just forgot them in the seat pocket on Delta. The baggage people
that found them saw the BoomerangIt sticker and called in the items right away.
It worked incredible. Getting them back is amazing. You've saved us $600+, plus
all the songs that my daughter paid for to download. I have already told everybody
I know about you.
Dorothy C, Green Cove Springs, FL
Palm handheld on Paris – Lausanne train in France
That’s fantastic. I lost my Palm Tungsten during a stay in Dijon, France. We made
a concert there and I stayed only for one night.
Torbjörn G, Kungsor, Sweden
Palm PDA full of data returned by Savannah Police, GA
I am amazed!! My Palm pilot was stolen from my vehicle. I also would like to thank
the Savannah, GA police department person who reported it to you. The Palm has 1
GB of data on it. I never thought I’d see it again and already bought a new one
but would certainly want the old one back - my wife can use it now.
Henry W, broker/owner, Pass Christian, MS
Palm handheld on a plane to Las Vegas
Unbelievable! I have moved to Chicago and today I get this letter forwarded from
my old address in Sleepy Hollow. I have completely forgotten I have BoomerangIt.
It has been a month and a half since I lost my handheld. I left it behind on the
plane. I made it to Chicago but without it. Immediately called United but they didn’t
have it. I will call all my friends right away and tell them how wonderful your
service is and that it works.
Sandra O’K, Chicago, IL
Lexar USB drive found at DFW airport
I have BoomerangIt for some time now. I have several items registered - my cell
phone, PDA, camera and keys. I don’t know exactly how I lost the jump drive. It
must have fallen off my pocket when I was shifting keys at the DFW airport. I am
very pleased. I was hoping that someone will find it and would drop it and return
it, as they did.
Jewell D, retired PC consultant, Dallas, TX
Palm pilot at an electronics expo
Funny I’d lose my Palm at an expo for electronic gadgets. I have all my addresses
in it and haven’t transferred the files to my new laptop yet. I was completely devastated
that I lost it. But I held on buying a new one. I had this hope and feeling, like
in the movies, that somehow it will be found and I will get it back. And I did,
thanks to BoomerangIt. I’m getting more BoomerangIt labels for my three laptops,
digital camera, iPod, and their accessories. I travel a lot.
Marjorie L, works for the military, Omaha, NE
iPod at a school professionals conference
I didn’t even realize I have lost my iPod. I am here on business but I still have
it with me. I always have it in my purse as I don’t know when I will want to listen
to it. I must have lost it not an hour ago. It’s very good that it was found. Very
nice that the finder was nice enough to not keep it but call you to return it. Thank
you. I have other valuable items registered with BoomerangIt - iPods, cell phones,
and PDAs, both mine and my kids.
Karen B, school principal, Englewood, CO
USB drive at American Airlines’ Admirals Club, Austin Airport
I knew I lost my jump drive but didn’t recall where or how. Though it is a secured
jump drive, I have highly sensitive information on it that is irreplaceable. I am
grateful I took the time to register with BoomerangIt. It’s been a year since I
enrolled and it has certainly paid off.
Martin F, contract manager, 51, Flower Mound, TX
Keys lost while biking. Found on bike trail.
I was surprised that it actually worked. I got BoomerangIt several years ago. I
am so lucky my keys were found right away. The finder was a homeless person. He
was still here on the trail and I gave him some money for his efforts. I bike here
almost every day. It is a very popular place for walkers and for bikers.
Don K, Mountain View, CA
Palm PDA at the Toronto Motorcycle Show
I was attending the Motorcycle show in Toronto. That is where I lost my Palm handheld.
I asked the organizers if they had found it but they didn’t have it. I liked it
so much. I use the Palm everyday in my work – I take pictures of the work that comes
in the shop and put it on my computer. I have my addresses and contacts there too.
I‘d like to give the finder a call to thank her, and possibly send a small reward.
It gives me hope that the world is still full of good and honest people. BoomerangIt
is great! I can’t say anything less than that.
Stuart L, automotive shop owner, Hanover, Canada
$2,000 Compaq laptop left at security at the Toronto Pearson International Airport
I left my $2,000 Compaq Presario laptop behind at the security checkpoint of the
Toronto Pearson International airport on my recent and very dramatic trip to Vancouver
for a business convention. I didn’t realize I had done so until late that evening
when I was unpacking. Quite dismayed, I was sure that someone behind me in the security
line had stolen it. I felt terrible - without my laptop, I couldn’t access my emails
and work. To my relief, the people from the airport security later recovered the
laptop. When they examined it, they saw my BoomerangIt sticker and contacted BoomerangIt.
Thanks to your service my laptop was returned to me. I am very grateful I had BoomerangIt.
Otherwise, it would have been very difficult to get my laptop back, if at all.
Michelle L, audit officer, Canton OH
Camera at a baseball game at Miller Ball Park
You totally made my day! We have so much film on this camera. All pictures that
I’d like to have back. $15 for BoomerangIt is totally worth it. It is good to know
there are still nice people out there.
Roger H, Watertown, WI
$2,900 Koga Miyata bike returned by San Jose Police
It is a very nice camera in a perfect condition. I am sure someone is missing it
and I would like to get it back to them. I even took pictures of the baseball game
for the owner since they couldn’t!
George G, Kenosha, WI
Stolen Specialized bike returned by UC Davis transportation and parking service
About six months since my bike was stolen, when I completely lost any hope of recovering
the bike, I received an e-mail from Boomerangit with the subject ‘Found your stolen
bike’. I was in disbelief. What wonderful karma! The fantasy is true. My bike was
recovered by the police from a Boomerangit sticker.
Nguyen N, San Jose, CA
Stolen Cannondale bike returned to student
I left my Specialized Rockhopper bike outside a Ride-Aid in Davis. I was just going
in and out really fast so I didn’t lock it. It was gone when I came out. I didn’t
want to tell my parents because it is a $300 bike. I have been using my roommate’s
bike to get around on campus. I feel blessed and lucky my bike is coming back to
me.
Brett E, student, Davis
Stolen Cannondale bike returned to student
I’m a student in Eugene, OR. My Cannondale bike was stolen from my apartment. I
had it locked to a wooden pole but the thieves had broken the pole. Someone found
it and reported it to BoomerangIt and BoomerangIt notified me. Sweet! Awesome! Thank
you guys!
Brendan B, student, Moraga, CA
iPod Nano found on the street. Owner gives it to finder
Hello. You can tell the finder that they can keep my iPod Nano. I bought a replacement
a while ago, so there is no need to return it to me. I’m curious if you could provide
the finder’s contact info. I’d like to thank them. Thank you for a great service!
William Johnson Jr., Alexandria, VA
BoomerangIt proves ownership of recovered bike
My Ibex mountain bike was stolen from my apartment complex this past Christmas.
It was locked but I guess the thief had no problem cutting the lock…. It’s miraculous.
I’m really stunned. I can’t believe I got the bike back. I thought it was gone forever.
BoomerangIt was the only proof that I owned the bike. I also contacted the bike
manufacturer and my campus police department but they could not help me.
BoomerangIt was the only source that had my bike’s Serial Number because
I had registered it with them. It’s amazing. I am excited. I told many people
about how I got my stolen bike back. Thank you.
Chris K, student, Mobile, AL
Stolen Raleigh bike returned by University of Maryland Police
Dear BoomerangIt,
Thank you so, so much! I was astonished when I heard from the University of Maryland police
department here. My bike is safely returned to me, even though my bike lock is broken.
S. Kim, Beltsville, MD
Cell phone at Chicago Union Station
It is my daughter’s cell phone. She just called me this morning she had lost
it in Union Station. I didn’t even think of calling you. I should have - I have
your labels on everything.
Daniel D, Highland, IL
Palm Treo in a Christmas feel good story
I went into a panic attempting to retrace my steps and went so far as to driving
back to the Michael’s crafts store where I knew I had my phone last - only to find
out that no phone had been turned in. I am so glad that Sarah (the finder) called
me and called BoomerangIt, too. I feel relieved that there are still ‘honest’ people
in this world. Especially during the holiday season when tempers flare over the
smallest issues, such as a parking space. What a relief knowing that my phone
was registered with the BoomerangIt service. I appreciate everything and I concur
that Sarah does indeed deserve a reward for being a great Samaritan. Warm regards!
DeeAnn V, Pleasant Hill, CA
Pentax camera found on the street
Thank you. BoomerangIt makes it all worth it. I was wondering if it would work when
I was registering my items, now I know after I got my Pentax camera back. Your service
just paid off for me the first time and I will be sure to make my friends register
their phones and cameras.
Daniel B, college professor, Wellesley, MA
