Welcome to Vestigate.
100 years ago, people relied on WANTED posters to find missing people or property. Today, VESTIGATE brings that concept into the digital age — allowing you to post listings and offer the public a direct way to provide information.
Vestigate is an Australian-owned licensed private investigation, debt collection, and asset recovery company founded by Frank Carbone, who has over 40 years of experience locating people, vehicles, stolen assets, and witnesses across Australia.
In this first stage of our rollout, Vestigate helps locate people and property for matters including missing persons, debt recovery, legal proceedings, insurance claims, and repossessions.
Using social media, radio, TV advertising, and the power of the public, Vestigate gives individuals, businesses, insurers, and government departments a secure platform to offer rewards for valuable information.
Whether you are trying to recover stolen property, repossess assets, or locate someone who owes you money, Vestigate connects you with the eyes and ears of the public — with the added benefit of anonymous tips through a simple and user-friendly platform.
