Does every item have a unique number?
No. The identification field is optional. A phone may have an IMEI, a car a chassis number, a document a title number, an animal a chip or collar. If there is no number, describe the item.
Frequently asked questions
Find is an information tool. No automatic report to the authorities.
When does my listing become visible?
An account with a confirmed email or phone is published immediately. Without an account, a moderator reviews it first. Searching, checking or opening a listing requires an account.
Is a search result an accusation?
No. A match only means a published listing corresponds to your search. Read the listing and contact the reporter through Find if needed. Find sends nothing to the authorities.
Does Find notify the police automatically?
No. Find is an information tool. No report is sent automatically to the police or any other authority.
Who sees my listing?
A published listing is visible to signed-in accounts: title, description, photos and status. Proof of ownership stays private. Messages stay in Find.
What are analytics cookies?
If you accept, Find loads Google Analytics to measure visits, sign-ups, listings and searches — without sending the content of identification numbers. You can refuse or withdraw this choice in My data.
Is Find limited to certain countries?
Find is available in every country. The interface first follows the country’s language; English is also offered, except in Belgium (French, Dutch and German). There are information pages for Brussels, Liège, Antwerp and Ghent.
