Track What Was Lost.
Find the Right Trail.
Zenith can help investigate commonly lost or stolen assets using lawful, authorized tracing methods and available records. In suitable cases, this may support recovery efforts — but recovery is never guaranteed.
Top 10 commonly lost or stolen assets
The table below shows examples of assets that may leave useful digital, registration, transaction, ownership, or tracking records. Which methods are available depends on the asset, jurisdiction, documentation, provider, and the authority available to Zenith.
For financial and digital assets, analysis may identify transaction paths or service endpoints. For physical assets, records such as serial numbers, registration details, telematics, or approved tracking services may provide investigative leads.
Common tracing methods
These are investigative avenues, not promises of recovery. Zenith will only use methods that are lawful and appropriately authorized.
| # | Asset | Common tracing methods |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Cryptocurrency | Blockchain transactions, wallet addresses, transaction hashes, exchange/service endpoints. |
| 02 | Mobile phones | IMEI/serial number, Find My/Find My Device, carrier records, account activity. |
| 03 | Vehicles | Registration/VIN, GPS/telematics, number plate, recovery databases. |
| 04 | Laptops & computers | Serial number, device-management systems, account activity, tracking software. |
| 05 | Packages & shipments | Tracking numbers, carrier records, delivery scans, proof of delivery. |
| 06 | Bicycles & e-bikes | Serial numbers, registration databases, GPS/Bluetooth trackers, identifying marks. |

| 08 | Tools & business equipment | Serial numbers, asset registers, GPS/Bluetooth tags, ownership markings. |

What Zenith may need
- Proof of ownership or a lawful connection to the asset.
- Serial number, VIN, IMEI, wallet address, transaction hash, tracking number, or other available identifier.
- Relevant dates, locations, account details, and supporting records.
- Authorization to conduct the investigation and contact appropriate providers or authorities where required.
What “possibly recover” means
Tracing can produce a lead, identify a transaction path, locate a registered record, or establish evidence that assists a lawful recovery process. Some assets cannot be located or recovered, records may be unavailable, and third-party cooperation or legal process may be required.
No recovery result is guaranteed. Zenith should communicate findings, limitations, and next steps based on the evidence available.
Follow the evidence. Document the trail.
Every case is assessed on the identifiers, records, authority and lawful options available. A useful lead can support a recovery process, but no outcome is guaranteed.
