Protection for Pawnbrokers
Pawnbrokers are on the front line when it comes to stolen luxury goods. StolenWatchCheck gives you an instant, authoritative check on every watch that walks through your door — keeping your business compliant and protected.
Key Benefits
Avoid Handling Stolen Goods
Knowingly or unknowingly accepting stolen property is a criminal offence. An instant check gives you documented evidence of due diligence for every transaction.
Instant Check at Point of Acceptance
Run a check in seconds at the counter. Our mobile-friendly interface works on any device — no specialist hardware required.
Compliance Documentation
Every check generates a timestamped record. Store these as part of your compliance audit trail to demonstrate due diligence to police and regulators.
Law Enforcement Integration
Our database is shared with police forces globally. A Flagged result means the owner has likely already reported the theft — coordinating recovery is straightforward.
How It Works
Customer presents a watch
When a customer brings in a luxury watch, locate the serial number (usually engraved between the lugs or on the case back).
Run an instant check
Enter the serial number into StolenWatchCheck. Results return in under one second showing Clear, Flagged, or Under Review.
Record the result
Save the timestamped check result as part of your transaction record. Flagged watches should not be accepted and may need to be reported to police.
Since integrating StolenWatchCheck into our counter process, we've turned away four stolen watches and assisted police in two recoveries. It's become part of our daily routine.
