Website Helps Identify, Recover Stolen Gems
The odds of being reunited with your jewels and watches are a little better thanks to an online registry for stolen and recovered pieces. If you’ve been robbed and would like to put law enforcement personnel, the jewelry industry and the general public on alert, you can place a listing on StolenJewelry.org.
Items listed must be valuable, and they must be unique or have distinguishing characteristics. (The Jewelers’ Security Alliance, owner of the site, will determine whether your listing meets the criteria.) There is no fee to search the recovered items database or to list an item, but you must register, and you must have filed a police report before you can place a listing.
