S4FE

The Problem

Despite advances in information technology, there has never been previously a robust, global, readily accessible mechanism for reporting lost and stolen assets. Nor has there been a reliable platform for checking - in real time - the true ownership of many items offered for sale.

As a result, the re-sale of many stolen items has gone unchecked and unreported. The victims of theft have traditionally been able to do little else but report the details to local law enforcement bodies and the prospect of recovering lost or stolen items has often been very slim. Only criminals have benefited from the inadequacies of the existing infrastructure.

The problem is compounded when lost assets are suspected of crossing international borders. Different jurisdictions, laws, database formats and access rights have all hampered the development of an efficient, global framework for exchanging ownership data. Consequently, the process of determining ownership has been fraught with delays, complexity and frustration.

The Solution

S4FE is a user-friendly technology that enables the real-time identification and reporting of lost and stolen items. It’s data is accessible worldwide.

• Owners of valued assets can register them, as a safeguard and a deterrent against theft.

• Those who wish to buy an item of questionable provenance can verify its status before purchasing.

• Those who identify a lost or stolen item can use the S4FE Reward Program to report it and claim a reward.

S4FE therefore acts as a deterrent against crime. It supports the work of law enforcement bodies, and it incentivises people to play an active role in the recovery of lost or stolen property. It operates efficiently across international borders and its blockchain technology enables users to remain safely anonymous at all times.
