How recovery actually happens

Registering an item is the easy part. What brings it home is what happens after — a notice your block can actually find, a private way for a finder to reach you, and the proof of ownership kept out of public view.

Post

You put the notice on the wall

Four fields and two minutes: what it is, where you last had it, a photo, and the numbers that make it yours. The serial and the microchip ID are stored but never shown in public — they're the proof kept in reserve.

Look

The block starts looking

Your notice is published against a coarse ring, at least 1.5 km wide. Someone walking their dog past a suspicious lock can search the board, find the notice and open a private message thread with you — while your address, your phone number and your email stay out of it.

Reading the resale boards is what comes next

Sweeping Kijiji, Marketplace and Craigslist on an owner's behalf is the next chapter of this product, and the panel beside this shows how an alert will read. Recording the serial now is what makes it work later: it is the one detail a repaint leaves untouched.

Reunited

A message, a serial that matches, and a way home.

Whoever has your item writes to the notice, and the thread stays inside FoundWall. You compare the private serial or chip number you kept back, and only then decide how to meet — or hand what you have to police. We never accuse anyone, and we never contact a seller on your behalf.

Illustration · FoundWall does not publish a recovery until an owner closes their own notice

Before you buy

About to buy a used bike? Check it first.

Search the public board for the model, the colour and the neighbourhood before you hand over cash. Browsing is free and needs no account, and an empty result still tells you something — just not everything, since it only means nobody has reported that bike here.

What stays private the whole way through

Location is coarse

Your last-seen point is rounded to an area of at least 1.5 km. An exact coordinate is never stored on the public notice.

Numbers stay yours

Serials and microchip IDs are stored so you can prove ownership later. They stay hidden from everyone but you and, if you choose, the police.

Contact stays in-platform

A finder messages the notice and the thread lives inside FoundWall. Your email and phone number are never published, and you decide what to share and when.
