In 2005, he was instrumental in the creation of the FBI's rapid deployment Art Crime Team (ACT). He was named the ACT's Senior Investigator and was responsible for instructing the newly formed team. He also was instrumental in the recovery of colonial North Carolina's copy of the original Bill of Rights in 2005, after it was stolen by a Union soldier in 1865. Wittman represented the United States around the world, conducting investigations and instructing international police and museums in recovery and security techniques. After his 20 years with the FBI working against art theft, he continues to use his expertise as an art security consultant for the private sector.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robert Wittman Inc. ~ Art Recovery, Art Security, Art Protection )〕 In 2010 Wittman published his memoir ''Priceless'' which recounts his career and activities while working for the FBI as an undercover agent.
