Art and auction houses in London have spent several years tightening security and the Cultural Objects Offences Act made it illegal to trade in goods thought to be tainted. Auction houses are as liable as banks for making sure that they are not being used to launder suspect money and the Art Loss Register, the company with a database of 160,000 stolen items, suggest the number of stolen works being sold at auction has fallen.
One of the most famous fakes acquired by the British Museum was the Crystal Skull, supposedly an Aztec symbol of death, bought in 1897. Recent analysis showed it was cut and polished with a type of rotating wheel used in 19th century Europe.

Theresa May defends customs Brexit 'backstop'
A "backstop" plan to keep the UK aligned with the EU's customs union after 2020 would only apply "in a very limited set of circumstances", Theresa May has said.
The proposal was drawn up to avoid a hard border in Northern Ireland if the UK and EU cannot agree new arrangements in time.
Earlier Boris Johnson said Brexiteers need not worry about a "betrayal".
He said Mrs May would be "true to her promises" and deliver a deal.
The UK is leaving the EU in March 2019, which will be followed by a temporary transition phase until the end of 2020.
But ministers have yet to agree what they want to replace the UK's membership of the EU's customs union, which allows for tariff-free trading between members.
With no decision reached between the two alternative proposals the UK is considering, senior ministers signed off on a third, temporary, "backstop" option - which government sources say is very unlikely to be needed - at a meeting last week.
It would see the UK match EU tariffs in order to avoid border checks.
The government says this would allow the UK to sign and implement its own trade deals, something which it cannot do in the customs union.
But some Brexiteers who want a clean break from the EU fear it could turn into a long-term arrangement - last week backbench MP Jacob Rees-Mogg warned that people did not vote for a "perpetual purgatory".
Speaking in Macclesfield, Mrs May said the EU's own "backstop" - keeping Northern Ireland in the customs union - had been unacceptable so the UK had drawn up an alternative.
"Nobody wants this to be the solution that is achieved," she said.
The prime minister said she wanted to solve the customs issue "through our overall relationship with the European Union".
Earlier, speaking to reporters during a tour of Latin America, Mr Johnson - who led the campaign to leave the EU in 2016 - said: "Brexiteers fearing betrayal over the customs backstop must understand that the PM has been very clear that neither option is an outcome we desire - we want a deal with the EU and she will deliver it.

The "strictly time-limited" arrangement would ensure a free flow of goods across the Irish border if the UK and EU cannot agree alternative arrangements, he said.
None of the UK's customs proposals have been agreed with the EU yet.
