One veteran said the tougher laws have to also target the scrap yards that buy the stolen metal.

Duh. No one go suspicious when large memorial plaques showed up.

We don’t need any more Federal laws. This could be handled locally, the Feds don’t need any more power.

It should be considered vandalism as well as theft. Could probably throw some trespass charges in there too.

Upon conviction take the thieves over to the local VFW and let them take care of things.

No more federal laws. Repeal the ones we already have. Criminal law is a state issue.

They (the plaques) possibly didn’t show up in one piece; maybe many small pieces to disguise what they were.

IMO, the penalty is too light. At minimum, very long prison sentences for all involved - including the scrap buyers who knowingly buy such items.
