Systems and related methods for facilitating the return of lost, stolen or otherwise missing portable assets. Generally, a barcode or similar coding is generated and tagged to a specific portable asset such as, for example, an electronic device such as a smart phone or laptop computer or a piece of luggage such as a briefcase, purse, backpack or the like. A tag on the portable asset visually displays the barcode such that in the event the property is lost, a finder of the property can snap a picture of barcode with their smart device and automatically be directed to a webpage containing information that facilitates the return of the portable asset. When tagging the portable asset, an owner of the portable asset can control privacy levels with respect to information that ultimately becomes accessible to a subsequent finder of the portable asset.
