ABSTRACT:
A system for recovering a manufactured article is disclosed. The system includes an electronic reader that reads a unique code associated with the manufactured article when that article is within range of the reader. The unique code may be based on a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag positioned with the manufactured article. The reader may be positioned with a facility associated with retrieval of misplaced or reposed consumer items, or within a community. A database may store records of unique codes and information related to owners of manufactured articles. The database may be downloaded to a local cache. The database also may be queried based on the unique code. The owner of the item may be determined based on a match of a unique code read by the reader to a record in the database. The database may be accessed through an open-network connection to a computerized network.
