The Federal Bureau of Investigation has launched a new smartphone app dubbed the National Stolen Art File, otherwise known as NASF to help track stolen artwork. It hopes to solve cases at a quicker pace by allowing users access to its database of stolen art. Now, anyone with an iOS or Android device can download the app and browse through this database and provide any intel if they have any.
Colleen Childers from the FBI’s Art Crime Program explains that “One of the biggest evolutions for NSAF was making it publicly available. Now, with the new mobile upgrade that we’ve undergone, we want to continue to push to make it a more user-friendly platform.” Users are able to show listings, and share with friends, with 4,522 missing items currently.
