More than two-thirds of stolen art and antiques in the
Netherlands can hardly be found. Victims
often do not own pictures or exact data of the stolen items. They therefore cannot be registered in the
National Police database of stolen art.
This was reported by Martin Finkelnberg, the head of the National Police
team for art and antique theft, who manages the national database. About 2,500 pictures are currently registered
in the database, including pictures by Picasso, Vincent van Gogh and Frans
Hals.Saturday, September 19, 2015
