How to change your tool's status on Web
Changing your tools' statuses is good practice. It lets anyone viewing your account know if a tool is available or in need of your care, whether damaged or in need of service.

Your item’s status has been updated. If this item is One-Key compatible and you marked the item as missing or stolen, the item’s security features will enable. The next time your item comes within range of any enabled One-Key app, this tool will lock out and send you a notification of its location.
Whether a tool is stolen or goes missing, One-Key is here to help you find it.
