Okay, I admit it: “Martha Stewart Living” is a guilty pleasure. Ah, I’m going to be real honest here: I don’t feel a particle’s worth of guilt. Martha’s still got it going on. Besides, sometimes I see stuff in the magazine that’s “work-related” so I can look important while pretending I’m “doing research.” Like her recent mention of Bags Reunited. This is a website designed to help travelers in case their bags ever go astray (hahahaha). Does it work? Gosh, let’s take a look and see!

Okay, here’s how it’s supposed to work: the site gives you special luggage tags to use (you’re not supposed to use your own with your name and address on them cuz otherwise someone will come to your house and rob it, okay?).

Anyway, say your bag gets lost: whoever finds it looks at the special tag that tells them how to contact the site, which has stored all your flight details, contact info, etc., and then the site contacts you to say your bag has been found (they do something very similar on another site called Global Bag Tag).

But…I’ve notice a wee bit of a flaw in all this, Martha, so listen up: what if someone finds the bag and…just wants to keep it?

Bags Reunited suggests in their FAQs that that won’t happen because most people are Good Samaritans. I’m not worried about the good ones, it’s the Regular Samaritans you have to keep an eye out for.

But if anyone’s ever used a service like this…tell me what you thought.
