The Federal Bureau of Investigation and INTERPOL have both publicly referenced the continuing problem of art theft. 

Both agencies have estimated the trade in illicitly obtained art and antiquities to be valued upwards of $6 billion per year.  

Therefore, it’s no surprise that cultural institutions across the world—including within the United States—are vastly under-protected.
