A Visitor Took a Podcatcher Pro Home

2 min readUpdated Sept 2026

It happens: a visitor walks out with the Podcatcher Pro still around their wrist, or a device turns up somewhere it should not be. This is what you can do.

  • Alarm — with an alarm beacon at the exit, the Podcatcher Pro vibrates and sounds when a visitor leaves with it. See Alarm.
  • Missing Podcatchers — the Platform lists devices that have not been seen for a while, so you notice a missing device the same day. See Missing Podcatchers.
  • A return label — a “Please return to …” sticker on the device tells finders where it belongs. See Labels and Stickers.
  1. Agree how the device comes back: in person at your desk, or by post to your venue. A Podcatcher Pro fits in a padded envelope.
  2. Once it is back, dock it in a Basecamp. It syncs and shows up as Ready again on the Podcatchers page.

If a finder e-mails helpdesk@guide-id.com, we identify your venue from the serial number, arrange the return with the finder at no cost to them, and send the device back to you.

Lost or stolen devices are invoiced at the replacement price agreed in your contract — see What are the replacement fees?.
