 "Art
and other collectibles do not have serial numbers like cell phones or
stereos. Keep an inventory with detailed descriptions of the items—the type
of object, title, artist, date or period, materials used, measurements,
inscriptions and markings, and any other distinguishing features. Also,
take photos of each item in your collection—if an object is stolen a photo
will help prove it belongs to you."

Affairs and who now manages the Art Theft program at FBI Headquarters.
