What is ReuniteITTM by LoJack® ? Back to Top

ReuniteIT by LoJack is a global registration database and recovery service that works with law enforcement, Good Samaritans and public institutions such as hotels, restaurants and airlines, to help return lost and stolen property to their rightful owners.

It uses labels and tags with unique serial numbers to match recovered items to their owners through a universal, centralized, easy-to-use, and secure registry.

Why do I need it? Back to Top
Of the thousands of items that are recovered by the police and Lost and Found departments every year, very few are ever returned. Why? Because there’s no way to identify the owners. That’s where ReuniteIT by LoJack can help!
  • Every 3.1 seconds there is a property crime. (FBI Uniform Crime Reports, 2006)
  • 10 - 15% of all handheld computers, PDAs, and mobile phones are eventually lost by their owners. (Accenture, 2008)
  • The most common items left on board Continental Airlines flights are iPods, eyeglasses, cell phones, and portable DVD players. (“Lost and Very Rarely Found”, NY Times, 4/3/2007)
  • An estimated 30 million bags are mishandled in air travel worldwide every year. 204,000 of them are permanently lost or stolen. (SITA’s Annual Review Report, 3/26/2006)
  • Each year, many valuable items are stolen or accidentally left in hotels, restaurants, rental cars, airports, cabs, buses and other public spaces.
  • More than 1 million bikes are stolen in the U.S. each year. While half of those bikes are recovered by police, less than 5% are returned due to lack of a method of owner identification. (National Bike Registry)
  • According to the FBI, police departments recovered more than $39 million in stolen electronics in 2006. But much of that sits unclaimed in department locker rooms because police have no way to locate the rightful owners. (FBI’s “Crime in the United States, 2006”)
How does it work? Back to Top

Simply apply ReuniteIT by LoJack ID labels and tags to your valuable property to indicate that it is registered. Then enter a brief product description with serial number and label number in the ReuniteIT by LoJack secure database.

If your item is lost or stolen, whoever finds it (whether it is the police, an airline, hotel, or an individual) can follow the label instructions to report the find online or by calling 1-800-916-2545. Using the registration record from its database, ReuniteIT by LoJack identifies the owner and arranges for the item’s return – promptly and confidentially.

What kind of items can ReuniteIT by LoJack be used for? Back to Top
Any valuable personal or business items that you want returned if found by others should have a ReuniteIT by LoJack label. This includes:
  • Personal electronics, such as cameras, MP3 players, and handheld game devices.
  • Business tools, such as projectors and briefcases.
  • Sports gear, such as golf clubs, racquets, skis, tents and bowling balls.
  • Family belongings, such as GPS devices, keys and luggage.

How do I register with ReuniteIT by LoJack? Back to Top

ReuniteIT by LoJack service packs are available online at www.reuniteit.com or by calling 1-800-916-2545. Our offering includes a variety of ReuniteIT security tags and labels of different shapes and sizes with prices starting as low as $9.95. Length of service varies by type of pack. Visit the ReuniteIT online store for current packs and pricing.

When you purchase your ReuniteIT by LoJack labels you will have to create a user name and password. Your labels will automatically be activated with purchase. Once you receive the labels, log in to your secure online ReuniteIT by LoJack account and register all labeled items individually. Registration information includes the unique ID number of the ReuniteIT label, along with the item’s serial number (if it has one) and a brief physical description of the item.

Why not simply place name tags on my valuables? Back to Top
Name tags are not durable and do not provide the security and convenience you get when you label your items with ReuniteIT by LoJack. ReuniteIT by LoJack labels have unique ID numbers that identify your items while protecting your personal information and privacy. All returns are made through ReuniteIT by LoJack, keeping both owner’s and finder’s information confidential, which allows both parties to remain completely anonymous. Plus, our durable labels and tags are tamper-resistant, so your items remain identifiable making it easier for them to find their way back to you.
Can ReuniteIT by LoJack labels be removed? Back to Top
ReuniteIT by LoJack labels are tested and are amongst the best in the industry. ReuniteIT labels are specially engineered to be tamper-proof. They are designed to shred if removal is ever attempted. Even without its label, an item can be identified by its serial number or even a simple description, and as long as it’s registered, it can be returned.
Do ReuniteIT by LoJack labels come with embedded tracking technology? Back to Top
ReuniteIT by LoJack products focus on solving the huge problem of lost property which is never returned because there’s simply no way to identify the owner. When labeled, lost items are returned most of the time by police, Good Samaritans, Lost and Found departments, and security personnel. No affordable technology exists currently on the market for labels to replicate the existing LoJack process for vehicles. The key is to use a reputable company with strong law enforcement connections to increase your chances of getting your items back.
What do I do if I lose something? Back to Top
You don’t have to do anything. ReuniteIT by LoJack already has your registration information and will match your item to you. As soon as your item is reported found, we will contact you and arrange for the return. However, if you’d like, you can report the loss or post a reward on our website. Reporting the loss is not necessary, but can facilitate the return process by providing additional data for our systems to cross-reference. Taking the extra step of reporting the loss or theft will also allow you to search our database of items that have been reported found.
How do people return a found or recovered item? Back to Top
The finder, whether it is the police, an airline or hotel, or an individual, can go to the www.reuniteit.com website, or call 1-800-916-2545, and simply report the information about the found item. ReuniteIT by LoJack will notify the owner of the registered item via phone, e-mail and / or fax and facilitate the return. Unless the owner and finder choose to contact each other directly, LoJack will ship the item back to the owner. The finder pays nothing, and receives a reward, which at a minimum is free ReuniteIT by LoJack labels and service.
How much does it cost to have my item returned? Back to Top
There is no charge to the finder and no recovery fee. The owner pays only for shipping, which varies based on the preferred method of shipping and the type of item.
Why would someone return my things? Back to Top
Most finders are Good Samaritans who want to return the found item. Lost and Found departments and police property rooms nationwide are overflowing with recovered items that have no way of finding their owners because of lack of identification. ReuniteIT by LoJack makes it easy to return recovered property to the rightful owners. And because ReuniteIT by LoJack works directly with the police, the return of your lost or stolen property is more likely.
What is the reward? Back to Top
We reward all finders with a free ReuniteIT by LoJack service pack of ID labels and tags (a $20 value). Many owners also choose to offer a cash reward by filling out the Rewards field when filing a Lost or Stolen Report on our site. You aren’t required to give a reward but are welcome to do so if you wish.
What if I sell a registered item or buy a pre-owned item? Back to Top
Sellers can access the website to transfer ownership. Buyers go online to create an account and accept the transfer of the registered item to his/her account. The transferred registration is valid for the remaining term of the original coverage.
What if my registration expires? Back to Top
Before a registration expires, subscribers receive renewal reminders via e-mail or mail. If the subscriber chooses not to renew, ReuniteIT by LoJack guarantees that information will be maintained until registration expires, and information will be stored in the ReuniteIT by LoJack database for one year after expiration. If a former subscriber’s item is reported found after registration has expired, the person can still get the item back, for an additional charge.
What about my privacy? Back to Top
ReuniteIT by LoJack is a secure system that utilizes the latest encryption technology designed to protect user’s credit card and personal information. It also enables owners to get their property back through ReuniteIT by LoJack while keeping the personal information of both finder and owner confidential and anonymous. Of course, if the owner and finder prefer to arrange for the return directly, we can put them in touch with each other.
Does ReuniteITTM by LoJack® deter theft? Back to Top
While we mainly facilitate the return of lost items, ReuniteIT by LoJack labels help deter theft. Police believe that thieves are less likely to steal marked property due to resale difficulties.
What kind of software and database do you use to power ReuniteIT by LoJack? Back to Top
ReuniteIT by LoJack uses the latest in security and database technologies to support and service our customers and clients. Our system features a proprietary state-of-the-art database with search and match technology that provides missing items multiple ways to "find" their owner:
  • by matching the unique ID label number
  • by matching the product serial number
  • by matching the descriptive information provided upon registration
  • by matching the time and location an item has been reported lost and found
Does ReuniteIT by LoJack have a relationship with police departments? Back to Top
Yes. We recognize that law enforcement involvement is one of the most critical components of successful property recovery. ReuniteIT by LoJack offers law enforcement a global system through which to track down lost and stolen property owners. Our system is accessible to participating police departments, helping them to match and return recovered property to its original owners.
Does ReuniteIT by LoJack work in other countries? Back to Top
Yes. Powered by the Internet, our service can facilitate the return of lost or stolen items worldwide. No matter where an item is found, the finder (airline or hotel personnel, police or any Good Samaritan) can log on to our website (which is included on all of our labels and tags) and report the find. We then match it with the information provided upon registration and, with the help of leading international shipping companies, facilitate the return worldwide.
What other benefits are there to ReuniteIT by LoJack? Back to Top
ReuniteIT by LoJack provides unique services to consumers that facilitate reporting and sharing of information between police, insurance companies and policyholders in the event that items are lost, stolen or damaged. Because ReuniteIT by LoJack uses serial numbers and physical descriptions of valuable items, it helps inventory personal or business possessions and provides a well-organized and secure record of ownership that consumers can access anytime, and keep for insurance, warranty or other purposes.
