Recovery stories

Lost Things. Kind People. Happy Endings.

Every recovery is proof of what we believe: most people want to do the right thing. These stories are why ReturnMePlz exists.

An owner holding the prescription glasses returned to her after two days

The glasses on the 8:15

"They slipped out of my bag somewhere between Bath and Bristol. Two days later my phone buzzed: 'Hi, I think I've found your glasses!' A commuter had tapped the sleeve. We met at the station coffee shop. I bought her a flat white. Faith in humanity: fully restored."

A parent handing a returned school PE kit back to another parent at the playground

The PE kit that came home for tea

"Third lost jumper this term – but the first one with a label. A dad at the park scanned it and messaged me before we'd even noticed it was gone. Back the same evening."

A traveller scanning the ReturnMePlz tag on his suitcase at an airport baggage carousel

The suitcase that took its own holiday

"My case went missing between two connecting flights. A baggage handler tapped the tag and left a message with exactly where it was. It landed home three days after I did – but it landed home."

Got your own happy ending?

If a ReturnMePlz tag brought something back to you – or you were the kind stranger who returned it – we'd love to hear about it. Your story helps more belongings find their way home.
