Something like this, but allowing you to implement a bit more of it yourself,
in a form of customised method/application of microchips, would be pretty
cool...<smile>

This sock you canât lose

London - Buried under laundry or swallowed by the washing machine, socks have
always had a way of vanishing into thin air. Now, at last, an ingenious
technology
company may have come up with an answer.
European firm Blacksocks has invented a pair sold with a microchip sewn into
the fabric, allowing them to be tracked by a simple smartphone app.
Just take out your mobile, do a quick circuit of the room and the app will beep
when it is near the missing sock.
The waterproof chip can even monitor how many times a sock has been through the
wash and how much it has faded.
Itâs certainly ingenious, but super socks donât come cheap â ten pairs will set
you back Â117 (about R1400). For that price, you could buy a hundred pairs
from the supermarket, so that a few lost or faded socks would be neither here
nor there. - Daily Mail
