How matching works

Secure verification

Owners prove it with the document number or the finder's question. Guessing gets locked out.

How we verify
Report what you lostDescribe it once. Ranga keeps looking for you and alerts you the moment something matches.
Post what you foundSnap a photo, add where you found it, and set a private question for the owner.
Search everythingLook up a name on an ID, an ID number, or an item and place. Numbers are checked privately.
Rewards on MoMoThe owner pays once it's found. Ranga holds it, then rewards the finder after the handover.
Private messagingArrange the handover in a chat that opens only after ownership is verified.
Photo protectionDocument photos are read automatically and ID numbers are blurred before anything is public.

Finder questions

Only the real owner gets past the question.

When you report a bag, phone or wallet, you ask one thing only its owner would know. Anyone claiming it has to answer before they can contact you.

  • Your answer is private. Claimants never see it.
  • Small spelling differences are fine. Guess lists are rejected.
  • Three attempts, then the claim is locked for review.

Documents

Search by name. Prove it with the number.

Names on lost IDs and passports are searchable, so owners can find them fast. The document number is the private proof, compared as a fingerprint and never shown to anyone.

  • Type a name or an ID number into search.
  • Identical numbers make an instant, near-certain match.
  • ID numbers in photos are blurred before listings go live.
