I like the library as proxy return idea.

I've tried to return stuff via my police precinct. Couldn't be bothered.

I once returned a wallet via a "I Saw You" style personal ad in our local arts paper. (One of his frat brothers saw the ad and posted it on his door. Result!)

I've returned a few phones. Because they've been locked, I had to wait until someone calls (answer) or texts it (quickly write down number, then use my own phone to call back).

Phones need a "I found this lost phone" feature on the lock screen.



Android has that, you just have to turn it on in settings (which no one does). Maybe it should be part of first-time setup.
