Prone to losing things? Try Loc8tor

If you’re the forgetful sort, prone to misplacing your keys, mobile phone, or looking with dread at the space where your laptop should be, then we may have found the answer.

Say goodbye to hours spent turning your office or home upside down and say hello to the Loc8tor, a canny little gadget that can find your valuable possessions when you absent-mindedly misplace them.

A 21st century step up from keyrings that beep when you whistle, the Loc8tor is essentially a personal homing device. You simply attach homing tags to whatever items you value and can’t afford to lose and when you inevitably do lose them, you use the hand held device like an electronic sniffer dog on a leash.

It has an on-screen directional display and increasingly high-pitched beeps to guide to towards your valuables from up to 600 feet away.
