Every day tens of thousands of important and valuable items are misplaced at airports, hotels, trains, taxis and other public places.
Most found items are never returned to their owners because linking a found item to the owner is just too difficult.
With Okoban the lost and found professionals finally have an easy way to get owners and their property back together again. Okoban is the global lost and found system designed for airports, airlines, and security agencies like the US TSA, railways and hotels.
Okoban provides the missing link between you and your valuables.

Japan has long had a culture of respect for the property of others. There are endless stories of valuable and not so valuable items being diligently turned in by the finders in the hope of finding the owner. In Japan, the center of this process is the koban or police box. Every major city and town has these mini-police stations located within each neighborhood. |

Do you travel with a laptop computer?
Most of us do. Have you ever worried about leaving it behind by accident at a security checkpoint, on the airplane, in a taxi or somewhere else? You are not alone. There are almost 2,000 laptops left behind at security checkpoints EVERY DAY! It gets worse. Only about a third of these are ever returned to their owners – they are just too difficult to tell apart and trace. Again, this is not good enough. Okoban is the solution for lost laptops.
Have you ever lost luggage when travelling by air?
If so, you are one of over 30 million people last year alone. Most of these bags were returned to their owners but on average this took almost three days. And every month over 50 thousand bags NEVER were returned. Instead these were sold as salvage by the airlines. This is just not good enough. Okoban is the solution for lost luggage.
Have you ever left behind a mobile phone, camera, music player or something else you really would rather not have lost?
It happens thousands of times every day and most of these items are not recovered because it is too much hassle both for the finder to track down the owner and the owner to track down their lost item.
At every airline, at every airport and at just about every other public place such as movie theatres, and the like there are lost and found departments. Until now there was not a comprehensive system that took the needs of the owners or the needs of the finders into account. Okoban is the solution for lost electronics.
