FBI National Stolen Art File app for iPhone and iPad

The National Stolen Art File (NSAF) is a database of stolen art and cultural property. Law enforcement agencies across the world submit stolen objects for inclusion. When an object is recovered, it is removed from the database. However, not all recoveries are reported to the NSAF. If you have information on a work of art in the NSAF, please report it to tips.fbi.gov.

This app enables you to:

§ Use the free search to find stolen objects by location, description, type of art, etc.

§ Filter stolen art by category, such as drawings, watercolors, paintings, tapestries, and more. · Save entries of interest for future reference.

§ Share entries via text, email, or social media.
