People Who forget their phone are perhaps more likely to not configure anything.

I can think of a number of ways to improve the finders experience. Give the provider something to configure. Say a dedicated helpdesk number where I report finding your phone and you can report losing it. Perhaps with a pin matched to the phone.

Say the finder manages to unlock it (0000) they can create a facinating phone bill. If reported as lost the provider can at least cap the bill at something more usual until your id is fully validated.

Could create an app for registered lost and found spots. Then can do all kinds of magic.

Having 1000$ bricks sitting on shelves looks kinda..dumb?
