I live in Singapore, so even putting my home address on my things would be fine. (And we seldom even lock our front door.)

Well, your suggestion might help for some kinds of misplacing. But I often I know it's in the house, but can't remember where.

Given the price/importance of a durable umbrella, it would make sense for you to stick a BLE locator tag to it. But for the love of $deity, let it not be built into the product itself, as putting electronics into products is the easiest way to make them fragile and obsolete within few years.

Is your home address stable for times similar to the lifetime of that umbrella?

I could leave a pointer at the old address to my new address, if necessary.
