A personal items network, including several items, each item having a wireless communications port for coupling in network with every other item is provided. Each item has a processor for determining if any other item in the network is no longer linked to the item, and an indicator for informing a user that an item has left the network, wherein a user may locate lost items. A method for locating lost personal items is also provided. The method includes linking at least two personal items together on a network, and depositing one or both of time and location information in an unlost item when one of the items is lost out of network.

What is claimed is: 1. A personal items network, comprising a plurality of items, each item having: a wireless communications port for communicating with at least one other item in the personal items network; a processor for: determining if the item in the personal items network is no longer communicating with the at least one other item, and storing at least one of time and location information for the item in memory in response to determining that the item is no longer communicating with the at least one other item; and an indicator embedded within the item for providing an output informing a user that the item is no longer communicating with the at least one other item based on the time and location information stored in memory, wherein a user may locate the at least one other item from the output provided by the indicator on the item. 2. The personal items network of claim 1, wherein at least one of the items is a cell phone providing the location. 3. The personal items network of claim 1, wherein at least one of the items is a GPS receiver providing the location. 4. The personal items network of claim 1, wherein the plurality of items comprise an item from the group consisting of a wallet, purse, personal data assistant, personal computer, watch, credit card, keys, and a cell phone. 5. The personal items network of claim 1, wherein one of the items comprises a credit card having a transceiver to facilitate the wireless communications. 6. The personal items network of claim 1, wherein at least one of the items comprising a transponder to reflect data to one or more other items. 7. The personal items network of claim 1, wherein the item and the at least one other item communicate one or both of time and location information usable in finding the at least one other item. 8. The personal items network of claim 1, wherein the indicator comprises an LED, LCD, buzzer or vibrator. 9. The personal items network of claim 1, wherein the wireless information comprises a cookie of information to assist in locating lost items. 10. The personal items network of claim 1, wherein at least one of the items is a cell phone and wherein the item and the cell phone communicate a cell location of the cell phone. 11. A personal item that networks with other personal items to annotate time or location when lost, comprising: a transceiver associated with the personal item, to wirelessly communicate with other personal items; a processor associated with the personal item, for: determining if one of the other personal items initially networked with the personal item is no longer wirelessly communicating with the personal item, and storing at least one of time and location information of the personal item in memory in response to determining that the personal item is no longer communicating with the one of the other personal items; and an indicator embedded within the personal item for providing an output informing a user, based on the time and location information stored in memory, that the one of the other personal items is no longer wirelessly communicating with the personal item. 12. The personal item of claim 11, wherein the personal item comprises an item selected from the group consisting of a wallet, purse, personal data assistant, personal computer, watch, credit card, keys, and a cell phone. 13. The personal item of claim 11, wherein the processor is further configured to store a cookie within the personal item, the cookie defining one or both of the location and time associated with the one of the other personal items. 14. The personal item of claim 11, further comprising memory for storing one or both of location and time associated with one of the other personal items when the one of the other personal items is no longer wirelessly communicating with the personal item.
