Lost item relay
A small QR on keys, a backpack, laptop case, or luggage resolves to lost - contact owner through relay, not a phone number printed in public.
Research, not shipping yet.
Return without doxxing

- Owner stays in control Revoke the sticker after recovery, or if someone abuses the relay
Example · keys on a bench
