» In the last 15 years, the Art Loss Register has reunited $100 million worth of stolen art with rightful owners by employing a deadly combination: a database and finely-tuned negotiation skills. "The first thing to do is to convince them that they can't sell the stuff for any decent money because of the database. So then they've got to surrender. So then you say 'We'll pay your legal fees.' And so it goes." Julian Radcliffe, director of the Art Loss Register.
