Website helps make gains over people's losses in life

Tweetathief.com is the latest way to try and trace your loved ones, animate and inanimate.

The site is run by Ian Brown, who is based near Great Dunmow, and, far from being an online resource for burglars and fences – as we suggested to him – it is helping the police.    “Indeed, we are due to attend a meeting in Westminster this month to discuss, amongst other things, the future wider implementation of the service,” Ian said. “The offer of rewards is far from new, indeed no end of rewards are on offer from various sites, services, TV programmes, police forces and organisations for information that will lead to either apprehension or return.   

“Tweetathief is in part designed to motivate people to be interested in remaining vigilant, aware, updated and informed of another’s loss, whatever shape that loss may take.”   

The target list includes lost, stolen and missing items, pets and people.
