What happens if my token is stolen?

First, take a breath: a stolen token is not the same as stolen land.

Why the thief doesn’t become the owner

Your property is owned through a trust, and the trust agreement is explicit: a transfer made without your permission does not carry beneficial ownership with it. The thief may hold the token, but that alone does not make them the owner of your property.

One honest nuance. The law that covers digital assets like these (UCC Article 12) gives certain protections to a later buyer who purchases in good faith with no idea the token was stolen. That means the outcome is not automatic in every case, and it means speed matters: the sooner the theft is on record, the harder it is for anyone to claim they bought innocently.

What to do, in order

  1. Contact us immediately. Use the chat bubble at fabrica.land or email hello@fabrica.land. Include your property link and what happened.

  2. Report it to law enforcement. A theft report creates the official record that supports any recovery.

  3. Save everything. Screenshots, emails, anything showing the unauthorized transfer.

Fabrica can provide the onchain transaction history to support an investigation. Because everything on Ethereum is public and permanent, the trail of who moved the token, and when, is there for investigators to see.

What we honestly cannot do

We cannot reverse an onchain transfer or pull the token back ourselves. Fabrica never holds your token and has no admin keys over it, which is exactly why nobody, including us, can move your property behind your back. Fabrica is not a law firm and cannot give legal advice, so for a contested case, bring in a lawyer. We will cooperate with the facts.
