Someone who is currently holding one of the lighters.
A cigarette lighter, that has a unique id somewhere on it. Currently I am using Swan refillable lighters, and I'm covering a laser printed label with heat shrink. See some pictures.
What happens when someone takes someone elses lighter. So if someone lends you their lighter to spark up with, and you don't return it - thats a steal, not a give. Or if you "just put it in my pocket without thinking, mate" thats called stealing too.
Where the lighter is currently in the world. Your street address is resolved to a latitude and longitude; and these are then used to draw a map. So your address is only depicted with an image - making it impossible for abusers of this site to send you junk mail. I still keep your address, which means that if in the future I need to re-resolve your address I can do it, and also if you happen to come across more than 1 lighter, you don't have to type it all in again.
