本周早些时候，我们请你分享你最喜欢的技巧，防止你的装备丢失，并在丢失时取回。现在我们回来分享一些伟大的读者提示。

Johann选择了最直接的方法：

Best way is also the least geeky and therefore ignored by techies – stick a big label on the thing with some contact details.

By all means encrypt etc but this isn’t making it easier to return, just securing your data, and these are two very different things.

If someone who ‘finds’ your kit is the kind of guy to give it back then a label is the easiest way to give the info to them, forget about disk labels, autoruns etc. and just keep it simple.

有很多话要说。如果有人发现了什么东西，他们倾向于退回它，一个直接的标签对他们来说肯定比说，**设备，看到磁盘标签是你的电话号码容易。

Blue先生在设备上加载了他的联系方式：

I keep a text document on my flash drives with my contact details in the event an honest person finds it.

As for my other tech like may others I use tracking software, but I also use the good old UV pen and etch my Name/Postcode into the device that way if someone finds it less appealing to keep with my name on it.

我们无法告诉您这些年来我们能够归还给其所有者的便携式硬盘的数量，因为很多人的硬盘上都有他们的简历和其他身份证明文件，这些文件是他们带到印刷店之类的地方的。

其他读者则使用追踪软件来追踪大件物品，比如布莱恩：

PreyProject for my laptop. I haven’t tested if it works though.

As for my flash drive, I usually give up hope and encrypt my files instead.

虽然我们为闪存驱动器贴上标签，以便诚实的人在我们放错位置时可以退货，但加密和假设最坏的情况绝对是一种好做法。
