Lost luggage: external tags fail, and interior contact info creates a burglary/privacy risk
Pain point
Tags tear off; people don't want their home address traveling with the bag (top comment: a sarcastic "thief here" warning, 30 upvotes). Competing advice (Sharpie on bag bottom, AirTag) shows no settled answer.
Signal
Post ~625 upvotes; three distinct competing workarounds in comments = unresolved. **Flagged**: "Just get an AirTag. It's 2026." (1) — incumbent named, but it doesn't solve *reunification*, only location.
Opportunity
Privacy-proxy luggage ID: a QR/NFC tag + waterproof interior card printing a unique code, not your address. Finder scans → anonymous relay call/text to you; you choose what to reveal. Sell as a $15 physical kit with $9/yr service; white-label to airlines/hotels. **Quick to build** (QR + relay + Stripe); low-cost physical goods.
