Non Sports
Bungee
Not really an app, but better than one. Bungee Tags (www.bungeetags.com) - $19.00 for 2 years of coverage
Bungee tags are a sticker you put on your devices, or any piece of property you don't want to lose. When someone finds it, they send a text message to Bungee and the owner of the property will be notified that is has been found.
When Bungee is notified that an item has been found, the owner is alerted immediately that their property has been found. Bungee bridges an anonymous conversation between the two parties so that a return and exchange can be arranged. Bungee has been tested throughout the country, and even works internationally.
From best estimates, Bungee tags have an 85-90% success rate.
