1. A processor-implemented method comprising: receiving a set of one or more machine readable reference images of an object; specifying use of a plurality of computing devices according to profiles of the plurality of computing devices, wherein the profiles identify a level of trustworthiness and a physical location of each of the plurality of computing devices; distributing the set of one or more machine readable reference images to the plurality of computing devices, wherein each computing device from the plurality of computing devices is capable of capturing an image; capturing, by each computing device from the plurality of computing devices, a set of one or more images; for each set of one or more images in each computing device from the plurality of computing devices, determining, by machine logic within said each computing device, whether said each set of one or more images includes an image portion corresponding to the object; in response to a determination that any of the one or more images captured by the plurality of computing devices includes an image of the object, storing one or more of the one or more images as stored images, and associating the stored images with the object; and in response to the object being lost by a user, reviewing, by a local physical device, one or more of the stored images associated with the object to determine a location of the lost object.
