What it covers

  • National stolen-art files published by police forces.
  • Cultural and archaeological objects recorded as removed unlawfully.
  • Images where the publishing body shows them itself.
  • The date of the record, and the force or body that holds it.

Whose records these are

Each of these bodies publishes its own records. The association reads what they publish; none of them is a partner and none has endorsed this service.

What this will not do

  • Nothing behind a login, a paywall or an access control. If reaching it means defeating something, it is not searched.
  • No leaked or breached data, and nothing bought from a broker who will not say where it came from.
  • A record found is a record in that register. It is not a finding about the person, and it is never a conviction.
  • An empty result is not evidence that no record exists — only that the sources listed did not answer with one.

An object not appearing in these registers has not been shown to be lawfully held. Most stolen cultural property is never reported to any register at all.

The association counts visits with its own tables — no advertising, no third party, and nothing that follows you off this site. It is off unless you say otherwise, and you can change your mind at any time.
