My brother (in Ohio) had new windows installed in his home several years ago. After they left, he discovered his medal of honor was missing from where he kept it upstairs at that home. He remains just sick about it as he cannot prove they took it, but it was there before the window work was done. It meant a lot to him, he was a medic in VietNam.
It’s terrible that someone would do that. It’s not like it has a high worth to anyone but your brother.
That is very sad. I hope the pawn shops in his area have a policy of contacting the police when such an item is presented.
