5s9 Lost is more than just a lost and found platform—it's a community movement to create serendipitous reunions between people and their cherished possessions.
Every day, thousands of items are lost in public spaces. Keys that unlock homes. Wallets containing irreplaceable family photos. Backpacks with crucial work documents. Teddy bears with emotional significance far beyond their material value.
Traditional lost and found systems are fragmented, inefficient, and often unsuccessful. Items sit unclaimed in bins and drawers while their owners search fruitlessly elsewhere.
Perdus & Trouvés reimagines the lost and found experience through:
- Precision Geolocation: Pinpoint exactly where items were lost or found using our interactive map interface
- Intelligent Matching: Our system automatically connects lost item reports with found item submissions
- Real-time Notifications: Instant alerts when potential matches occur
- Zero Barriers to Participation: A simple, intuitive interface that anyone can use in moments
- Interactive Map Interface: Visual, precise location reporting
- Dual Reporting System: Simple forms for both lost and found items
- Automatic Notifications: Get alerted when matches occur
- Mobile-Responsive Design: Report and search on any device
- Community Transparency: Public listings build trust and participation
Our platform is accessible through any web browser—no downloads or installations required.

Traditional lost and found systems rely on centralized collection points that require:
- The finder to take action to turn in an item
- The owner to know exactly where to look
- Both parties to connect through the same channel
Perdus & Trouvés creates a decentralized network of good samaritans, each empowered to help reconnect people with their possessions. By harnessing the collective awareness of entire communities, we dramatically increase the chances of successful reunions.
Every lost item has a story. Every found item has the potential to make someone's day.
By participating in Perdus & Trouvés, you're not just reporting lost or found items—you're becoming part of a compassionate community committed to looking out for one another in small but meaningful ways.
