Stolen 911 has created this custom search using Google’s Custom Search function.  Type in the make and model of your stolen property into this custom Google search. It checks all Craigslist Ads to see if anyone is selling something similar to your stolen stuff. This searches all Craigslist sites, not just the one in your local area.  Enter it just like if you were looking to purchase it.

Example: To find my stolen Pioneer DJM-600K Mixer,
I would enter: Pioneer DJM-600k and then Pioneer DJM600k.

Give it a try.  Crooks will attempt to sell stolen pets and stolen property in other areas to avoid being caught by the original owners.
