Both sides of the exchange
One code. Two people who have never met and never need to.
Good Sam sits between the person who lost something and the person holding it, and gives each of them exactly what they need and nothing else.
If it is your thing
Four steps, once.
Make a code
Give it a name a stranger would recognise, like 'blue Kathmandu daypack'. Add a note if the item needs one. Nothing you enter identifies you.
Get it onto the thing
Print it on label sheets you already own, or order weatherproof stickers, iron-on labels, luggage tags or a pet tag. One code can go on several places on the same item.
Tell us where to reach you
Your account email always gets the alert. Add a partner's inbox, a phone number for a text, or a web address for anything you have wired up at home.
Forget about it
That is the point. If the thing comes back, you hear about it. If it never goes missing, you never think about Good Sam again.
If you found it
Thirty seconds, no account.
They point a camera at it
No app. Every phone made in the last decade reads a QR code from the camera app, and the link opens straight in the browser.
They see what it is and one clear ask
The page says what the item is and shows your message. There is no sign-up, no email wall and nothing to install.
They choose how much to help
One tap sends a bare alert. They can add a location pin, describe the spot, say what they did with the item, and leave a name and number if they want to arrange a handover.
You get it, everywhere at once
The alert lands on every channel you set up, usually within a few seconds. It carries only what the finder chose to share.
Try it right now
Scan this with your phone and you are the finder.
It opens the real finder page on a demo code. Fill it in, send it, see the confirmation. Nothing reaches a person and nothing you type is kept.

What if there is no signal?
The code is printed with the address underneath it, so a finder can type it in later. Nothing about the tag depends on the finder being online at that moment.
What if the sticker gets scuffed?
QR codes carry error correction, so roughly a quarter of the pattern can be damaged and it still reads. The printed characters are the backup for the rest.
What if nobody scans it?
Then you are no worse off than an unlabelled bag. Mark the code as missing and the finder page will say so the moment somebody does look.
