Finding a lost Filofax?

No I've not lost one, sorry for the 'click-bait' title!!

I recently came across an advert for a 'gadget' that would help with finding a lost organiser or wallet. 

A credit card size tag that works with Apple Find My. Once linked to your Apple account, the tag appears in the app along with your other Apple AirTags which I have on my keys, bags etc.

 The advantage of this credit card size one  is that it is much thinner (2.5mm) than an Apple AirTag (8mm) and this one is rechargeable, compared to other similar credit card tags are not rechargeable. 

I saw the card advertised on Instagram and available via Action, a budget chain of shops here in France. A quick visit to my local store and I was able to pick up a couple of them for €11.95 each (About £10) 

Once charged and linked to my account I've tucked it in to one of the pockets on my current in use organiser. 

Yes this one has changed colour, my wife liked the off-white one for her wallet, so I did a swap! 

Have you ever lost a Filofax? And hopefully found it again? 

Losing your organiser

What can you do to prevent losing your organiser? 

I came across this news article the other day.  

Mental health worker appeals for help after confidential files lost

The person had left their organiser on the boot of their car and driven off and it fell off the car somewhere on the way to their next appointment. 

The organiser contained confidential information and phone number details. 

Filofax discontinued their own 'If lost' register a few years ago because of the introduction of EU privacy laws that prevented them from maintaining names and email addresses etc without peoples consent. 

Apart from not travelling with an organiser what can you do? 

During the Philofaxy Skype chat at the weekend we were discussing options for being able to locate your organiser if it gets lost. 

One person uses 'Tile' which is a small credit card type tracker. 

I use Apple Air Tags to track bags and other small items. These are slightly thicker than the Tile trackers, but they will ping their location any time they come near to an iPhone or other Apple device. The service is free and included in to the operating system. 

I have put them in my suitcases for flights so I know where my case is at any time. 

Has anyone else come across something similar that is simple to use and it would be easy to put inside your organiser to keep it safe? 

[Update] There's a happy ending to the original story. The Filofax was found and handed back to the Mental Health Worker. Amusing how they blanked out her registration car number in the original article but not in the follow up!!
