Tired of losing those rugrats in the supermarket? Maybe not, but you are bound to have something you always lose and can’t find. You need a Loc8tor. For about £60 you get this oversized iPod-ish remote with an LCD screen and two tags. Stick a mini tag on your wallet, child, glasses or keys – and next time you lose them, and you know you will, this baby will home in on them for you. It can also emit a sound if your tagged kiddies move out of a certain range in public places. Range is 500ft. You can purchase extra tags but there’s no price on that yet since the product is not due to ship for a few weeks yet. No mention on what you do when you lose the Loc8tor itself, and you know you will. Two Loc8tors? Three? Where will it end?
