Boy ya need to cop you some "TILES"
Tape a Tile underneath and track it down.
edit: if you feel like snooping through their crap you may find some letters with names, addresses phone numbers etc, and perhaps even a credit card application or 3. Bonus points if you find their email address.
The Tile idea was the best
This is the solution. You can get Tiles for cheap:
$15 from Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Tile-Gen-Anything-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B011HT9AL2
$5.30 from WalMart - https://www.walmart.com/ip/The-worth-buy-GPS-Bluetooth-Smart-Pet-Dog-Tracker-Tracer-Locator-SPHP/346324369
Mine as well buy multiple and stuff them in various envelopes and items.
For the future you may want to get something such as a Tile which you can buy here:
https://www.amazon.ca/Tile-Pro-Replaceable-Battery-Pack/dp/B07GLY1KPZ/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?hvadid=75041725985116&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvqmt=e&keywords=tile&qid=1561983187&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1
Or at any large big box electronics store near you and hide it inside valuble items like HDD's etc..... that are portable the case will pop apart exposing the drive itself (which generally is just a normal hdd hooked to a USB adapter so dont worry you wont damage anything and theres usually enough space to slip one of these tiles in there so you can track it if you loose it, also laptops you might have a compartment on the bottom of the computer that's missing an optional component such as a bluetooth card etc that you can tuck one of these into (this is getting less likely on newer laptops)
For phones i believe there's cases out there that will hide the tile underneath the rear of the case but you can generally track your phone now from your google/apple account
If you do get one and plan to "bug" your stuff with it so you can see where it went if its lost then make sure you hide it in the device if possible as most thieves who see a tile hanging off it will likely clue in right away and rip it off and throw it out.
$20 for one of them.
If you want your Tile system to help you find your keys, your remote, your wallet and your bag, you have to dish out $60 a year.
This system is $50 and comes with 6 receivers: 3 key-rings, and 3 stickers. The batteries are difficult to replace, but that's still far better than them being literally impossible to replace.
I'm hesitant to recommend this solution, but I'll throw it out there.
You could buy something like this...
https://www.amazon.com/Tile-Mate-Finder-Anything-Finder/dp/B01L3VEC08?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1
Tape or other wise secure it to the plug.
Next day, you're phone app will make the plug make a noise until you can find it. Works the other way too...tile finds phone, or keys.
I don't really like this product because they are made with batteries they KNOW will die in about a year, and the company only sells replacement units, not new batteries.
As a life-long key loser, these things have been a game changer for me - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073QPMFVJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_HjRBCb8X82A9D
First of all, what about an airplane is comparable to a twenty dollar electronic?
Second of all, nowhere on Amazon's page for the product does it say that you can't replace the batteries in the device. It says in very tiny text at the way bottom that the battery lasts for a year and can't be charged, nothing about it not being replaceable.
Bag she wants - $38.99
No more losing keys - $39.95
Primer - $17.85
------
$96.39 is prettyyy close.
My brother and I have started attaching Tiles to our drones for exactly this reason.
That way:
Not sure if they're waterproof though. So we gotta try to avoid dunking it in a water hazard.
Amazon link
As stated, a camera is the best option. If that is not viable for whatever reason, you could also glue a tile to it.

holy shit the amazon reviews show people using them on cats

The best thing about the Apple ones is the massive crowd-sourcing (maybe incorrect term) that will be used whenever you lose your item.
My daughter keeps losing her car keys and phone. Got her one of these
So far so good.
Got picked Saturday night at Sahara. Was recommended this by someone https://www.amazon.com/Tile-Mate-Finder-Anything-Finder/dp/B01L3VEC08/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1524530698&sr=8-3&keywords=tracking+device
Definitely going to install this inside my device (I'm an Apple Tech) next year as I recommend everyone else do. Hopefully once these thieves keep getting arrested they'll stop entirely.
Surprised Apple hasn't created a feature to require that devices use fingerprint or passcode to turn off. Would eliminate so many devices being stolen...
Tile?
Just do what I do and put a Tile on it along with the rabies tag. I use it as a failsafe for finding the cat, but you could just as easily find the collar if it came off.
Of the top of my head I'd say that if you have a tendency to lose focus on your child then you want to put some protocols in place asap to counteract that while you work on awareness and such. My initial thoughts would be:
A Tile (tap the app and it makes the tile "chirp"):
www.amazon.co.uk/Tile-Mate-Finder-Anything-Finder/dp/B01L3VEC08
Some type of beacon technology (here you can set a radius and the phone alarm will go off if your child leaves 30 meters etc):
http://blog.cubeacon.com/nivea-and-ibeacon-protects-the-kids-along-the-beach.html
One of those fitness apps that gives a warning if you sit still for too long - usually you'd set it to 30 mins so you dont get sedentry but you could set it to go off if your still for over 30seconds when you take your child out. This will get annoying but safety first right?
Hope that helps!

I work in the tech industry, but I'm not comfortable going too much further than that.

But wait, there's more! Bonus Closeup Images
This one?
There are a couple different brands I think. The ones I got are pretty basic but work great. These are them. https://www.amazon.com/Esky-Wireless-Locator-Transmitter-Receivers/dp/B078XR8C15
Yeah... About that.
Tip:
Invest in a lanyard or wrist strap with a loop, a wallet keychain, and Tile Mate.
That way you'll have a convenient way to carry your car keys and wallet (plus the lanyard/wrist strap will make them bulky and easier to find) and then be able to find them with the Tile Mate. You could even go on Amazon and get neon colors to make them stand out.
You just have to make a rule that every card you take out of the wallet you have to put back.
He may find the 2nd generation Tile useful for keeping track of the nades and it seems to be the only half decent bluetooth tracker on the market.
The only downside is that you have to pull it apart yourself in order to change the battery because it's not meant to be changed in order to keep it watertight. I also have my doubts about it's durability considering you'll be tossing it across rooms.
If you can, leave your bike indoors when you're not using it. Most apartments don't have a problem with keeping your bike inside, and if you ride to work many workplaces will let you keep it in a storeroom or the warehouse. If you still need to lock up outside, try and do it in a visible area and under a security camera. Any of the locks mentioned below should do the trick.
Another great tip is to put a Tile on your bike. They cost about $30 and they are a little tag that helps you find any object. Put one under your seat or a spot that's not easily visible. When your bike is stolen you can send out a notice and all other tile users in the area will help look for it without them even knowing. It uses the tile app that's on your phone. You can buy these at Best Buy, Walmart, Canadian Tire etc or on Amazon https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01L3VEC08/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_PbnbzbT19K37Z
Has anyone tried a GPS tracker tile? https://www.amazon.ca/Tile-Mate-Finder-Anything-Finder/dp/B01L3VEC08/ref=sr_1_1/147-4739324-2053218?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1492111864&sr=1-1
MT/diff oil
brake fluid
PS fluid (turkey baster method)
oil
check the coolant condition and if it is out change it
check the cabin filter and pollen filter and change them if they are disgusting
clean the leaves off of radiator to clean it up a bit
change the timing belt
If you want to go farther, change the spark plugs as they are likely overdue (not sure I'd pay someone to do that unless the idle was rough). Change the front engine mount and you will likely get a better ride. If you are really scared about being stranded at the side of the road, change the water pump (if not, just change it when it fails).
It won't help with losing as much as misplacing, but I always misplace my keys and wallet and it takes me forever to find them. I got this not too long ago and it is so amazing. It's more of a "Where in the house is my shit?" solution, but it's already paid for itself as far as I'm concerned.

Easiest/Laziest solution I've seen is a Tile taped to the bottom of the quad. Problem with those is that their buzzer is quite, and they give you a pretty vague idea as to where the item is. It simply tells you when the last time it 'spoke' with your device over bluetooth.
Honestly the best solution is to solder on a buzzer, and hotglue it down so it doesnt disconnect in a bad crash(when you'll need it the most). As well make sure your lipo connection is protected so it does not easily disconnect in a crash. I suggest strapping it in with the battery strap.
Don't beat yourself up. It's tough to be a mom!
I also suffered from pretty bad memory loss (if that's what you'd call it - I couldn't ever keep track of my things or things I needed to do!). To help with that, I actually kept a To-Do List in my purse and also set alarms on my phone so that if I needed to call the dentist's office to set an appointment before they closed at 3pm, I'd be reminded and couldn't really forget!
For things that I was losing - I bought a Tile from Amazon. They're amazing. I haven't lost my phone or keys since!
And this is easier said than done, but I forced myself to slow down. I do pretty much everything in my household (laundry, cooking, cleaning, meal prep, grocery shopping, you name it) so I had to just take my time and if something didn't get done, oh well. Too bad.
If you're fine with co-sleeping, keep doing it. If you have no issues with it and it works for you and your family, I don't see why you should stop. I personally didn't get very good sleep when I did it, so I transitioned my son to his crib at 3 months old. It wasn't incredibly easy but with trial and error it eventually worked out, and I'm very glad it did.
Anyways, I hope some of this helps. I promise, things will get easier! Good luck!

You might consider buying a tile keychain fob. Your phone can find your keys and your keys can find your phone. It has saved me a few times.

Every item location tracker I've researched (Tile, Cube, Trackr, etc.) requires some monthly subscription fee and/or has reviews indicating design failure. Clearly this technology has some kinks to work out across the board before they're ready for everyday use. I even tried the BCKAKQA and discovered that it would disconnect from my phone for literally no reason at all, which would cause the alarm to panic.
I have eyeglass retainers for keeping my sunglasses around my neck and a retractable keychain that keeps my keys attached to my belt. I also have a chain that does the same for a travel wallet. (Use a leather hole punch to fasten the chain and wallet.) It makes me look fucking weird but hell it works.
I don't think there is a great way to do it... a tracker needs to have cellular data (weight/cost problem), or Bluetooth like in the keychain ones (range issue). For $20 it may be worth experimenting with a keychain one and see how close you need to be to trigger it's alarm, then at least you can hear it beeping when you get within range.

If I have to check something in, I always use some kinda tracker on both the luggage and items just in case they get lost or stolen. Something like Tile or if you have the money for a GPS tracker.

Something as simple as this would suffice and you could just hook it somewhere inside your PC where somebody might not bother looking. Like under the motherboard attached to one of the standoffs.
Using Bluetooth, call your keys with the phone, or your phone with the keys. A bit bulky, but call your wallet too.

Look into getting a tile. They're great. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073QNZPMT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_eFE5AbZ37R567
If it's important enough that it's causing this much emotional difficulty, it's important enough to invest a bit of money into a way of tracking it down when (not if) you lose it.
Here's one way.
You bother because things matter to you, and because not everything is bad. Yes, you have limitations. Yes, they suck immensely. But you also started a business, which means you have strengths too. Most people don't and couldn't do that. You don't start your own business without creativity and the ability to problem-solve. ADHD just brings a unique set of problems, and the solution is never "I'm just awful and should give up" (no matter how much it feels like it when they hit!). Invest in coping tools like Tile. Reach out to other people for support (if you can't solve a problem yourself, maybe you can outsource some of it to others) - because you are not alone. You got this.
Why not just attach a Tile Mate to your drone; it should be able to track it anywhere.

A good reason to have an NFC tag with your contact info on it, attached to your keychain, or a Bluetooth locator tag of some sort.
It's a chip that you can hang it on ur flash drive or what ever and u can track which the flash drive is at, I personally have never used it, so I can't assure you if they worth it, I just have heard of it, so I looked for one real quick so u can see what I am talking about, posted the link below.

I don't know where I should post this but I'll give it a go here.
I want to purchase a DJI Spark with the combo, originally I was going to purchase it directly from DJI but after a quick search it appears that DJI have consistently terrible customer service.
I'm in the UK so currently, my only options so far are to buy it from Amazon (Prime) or Jessops. If the DJI Spark and / or accessories develop a fault, get damaged due to a fault or it just flys off on its own accord, can I send it back to Amazon for a replacement or will I have to deal with DJI directly?
This really is a deal breaker for me as I want to avoid DJI customer service as much as possible
I was also looking at getting it insured by a third party and sticking a Bluetooth tracker to it, hopefully it won't affect its flying capability or send it off balance.
If I've asked this question in the wrong place, please direct me to the right place. Thank you
Edit: "Prime"
That's a tough one. /u/Jonesno11
Tile or Echo Dot seems nice.

I know that you can get tiles to attach to your phone but what I find myself doing now is using Siri on my iPhone to find it when it's lost in the house. I'll walk from room to room asking Siri where she is until she answers me.
Send me a DM with the email address attached to your Ting account so I can get the cake day credit put on there for you!

i have the slim for my wallet and rugged for my keys (has a thicker rubber shell) you get the app on your phone and connect it to the tiles, they have a ringer when you ping them. you can also use the tiles if you lost your phone by double tapping the middle button, it'll ping your phone with a loud ringer also.
I use the TSA 3-digit combo wire padlock. One of these. I got them off ebay for like 5 bucks, sent from China.
Another thing that might be useful is a bluetooth tracker. Mine is something similar off Ebay (also China). Around 15 bucks. I put one in my carryon, my passport belt, and my backpack.

Attach it to a vape band or something around your mod. Can't find it? Ring it from your smartphone. It could get annoying having it dangle off your mod though.
Cheapest way of finding your blood type is to give blood to red cross or whoever. They'll let you know what type it is.

So like a Tile Mate? I mean projects are fun and all, but if the hats really mean something to her, I would just buy a few of these. Probably cheaper than anything you could build yourself anyways.

There are several different products from $15-40 that you could sew in to the backpack or just attach to the keychain in most backpacks, and then use your phone or a computer to find the backpack with GPS.

Hey Jess! Good to meet you! Friday and Saturday nights I work third shift, so I'm supposed to go to bed early. But I make bad decisions and have poor impulse control, sooo here I am! So question for you! Tell me about a memorable job you had. Best/worst/first whatever. :)
Guess whos back, back again. Jess is back, tell a friend! (Ner ner nerrr!)
Eek! The thing I need most at the moment is the Tile key/phone finder. It's on my main list.
Key Locator
They have these! Tell him to get himself one and quit losing his shit!

it would be cool if you could set it up with just small RF tags so you wouldnt have to carry huge gps dongles

The reviews are mediocre on the Mynt, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017TVFM1Y/?th=1
I ordered a pack of four Tiles on Amazon, and each one can be named and synched to my phone. There is one in my car, one in my purse, one on my dog's collar, and one on my keys. So if I cannot find any of the above, I go to the Tile app, and I can locate it on a map or make the Tile beep loudly (I have lost and found my keys many times this way). If I can't find where I park, the Tile app will tell me. It is an amazing invention.

Might be thinking of Tile: https://www.amazon.com/Tile-Gen-Anything-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B011HT9AL2
> demonstrated a need with the photo
I disagree, the pictures are for demonstrating use, not demonstrating need.
Or would you say that these product photos are crappy design because you can clearly see where the keys and duffle bag are, so why do you need a locator?

If you put a tile on your keys and own a case like this it's very easy to keep track of your stuff.
I was actually thinking more along the lines of the card cases being lost or misplaced and forgotten but you still happen to be in the area. Saw this one that can play a sound when paired to your phone.
It's one of these things: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B011HT9AL2/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469124226&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=tile&dpPl=1&dpID=41DWrjNpgXL&ref=plSrch
Quite handy, but I'm not sure how heavy it is or where you would put it on the quad.
Don't change yourself to ward off the shitty comments from people ragging on you. Find your solutions to make your life easier for yourself.
Case in point: I make TONS of impulse purchases. And a lot of it I never use. The best stuff is things that are passively available.
I had been wanting one of those "Tile" key fobs I'd been seeing around. Too expensive. Cyber Monday this year I got this:

My wife rolled her eyes. Once. Then I lost my keys when we were on our way out the door to go on a family vacation. Fuuuuck. Oops. Well, let me just push this little button on my phone app: the couch starts ringing. My 20 month old had decided to hide my keys. Not even my fault this time. No half an hour looking for keys right as we are about to leave. She doesn't make fun of my Cube any more.
You'll start replacing your deficits with tools and solutions over time. Especially with meds. Educate your fam. Will reduce stress too.
You probably need something like this.
To help with this, I ordered a cool Bluetooth tracker thing off of Amazon. I put it on my keys and then can locate them anytime from my phone. Same works in reverse. If I can't find my phone, I can push the button on the key tracker and it will ring my phone.

Tile is an overpriced gimmick/scam. Get something like this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009JJKZSK?gclid=CjwKEAjwqIfLBRCk6vH_rJq7yD0SJACG18frAsgrHD0_VfBjGYF1_qqLAxs0Q7isHkEqJi2XlEMZwBoCW3Pw_wcB
30 bucks and you don't have to buy an entirely new tile when it runs out of batteries
Thx man found this one, you think it will do?
gps tracker
Edit: NOT GPS. see reply below
I'd say stick a tile on its collar. Did it to my dog that loves to wander and it's super helpful.
Everyone needs to buy Bluetooth tiles off amazon and stfu, it will change your life. I constantly loose shit when I'm high and forget, and she cleans up and hides shit everywhere. Saves hours of searching before work in the morning. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01L3VEC94/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1496015623&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=tile&dpPl=1&dpID=41gvm-DlPxL&ref=plSrch
these, maybe
You can also look into getting one of those [Tile Bluetooth trackers] (http://amzn.to/2iJpWxP) so he can find his wallet when he thinks he's lost it. He can also set reminder on this phone so that when his wallet is too far away he gets alerts or something.
If you're really lazy you could use a key finder that rings if you activate it via Bluetooth. Has a range of 30 meters which should be enough.
If you prefer not to use your phone (RoadId, Strava Beacon, Race Joy), you can always look in to devices like Tile (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011HT9AL2/ref=zg_bs_5811986011_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=Z0D47XJYN8A5T01VPNH6). Sometimes it's used for missing keys or even planted in to bikes as a post theft (?) tracking device.
The issue with not using your phone is, if you get in to trouble, how do you call for help?
I've done a bit more digging for alternatives since I initially posted this, and the (seemingly) best fit I've found so far is called a MYNT smart tracker that explicitly claims on its page that you can set 'safe' zones like your home so the app won't go off if you leave and items are still there. That seems like it will work on paper at least, but I have no experience with the company or product so I'm hesitant to just snap off a purchase for something that may be very janky.

Why all the thumbs down? Yall dumb or something?
Or you know, get a Tile for a one time fee and you can use either the fob to ring the phone (if you're within earshot) or their webapp to find it.
