Seeker uses advanced technology to help find your stolen items.
Seeker checks online retail platforms and second-hand retailers for items reported stolen that have been listed for sale. Depending on your preference, the tech can run searches between a 1-month and a 6-year period. Seeker is built to be accurate and comprehensive — we can't guarantee to find your item, but if it's listed for sale on our partner platforms, our tech will find it.
- Deep-dive searches using AIImage, text and serial-number matching on every new listing.
- Secure and robustEncrypted in transit and at rest. Reports are private to you.
- Weekly automated alertsLive updates plus a digest — no anxious waiting.
Report. Find. Recover.
Three steps end-to-end. Each one builds on the last to bring your item home.

Find
The Seeker technology searches online retail platforms — eBay, Gumtree, Preloved and Facebook Marketplace — for a match for your stolen item(s).
We also contact second-hand retail stores to alert them of the theft, in case they're approached to buy the item — or if they've already listed it for sale.
- Weekly progress updates
- 1 month to 6 year search window
- Direct contact with 2nd-hand retailers
Recover
If we find a match, it's important you have proof of ownership to give to the police or to engage one of our recovery agents.
You're welcome to contact the seller yourself, but caution is advised — keep in mind the seller may not be the thief.
If we don't find your item
You can extend the search for a longer period. And every Seeker user who runs a 3-month search or longer gets a free Found Protect membership as our way of saying thank you — so your future valuables stay registered and protected.
