Among several items taken was a framed collection of medals and keepsakes, which has great sentimental value to the owner.
“It’s hard to imagine the heartache felt by this victim at having some of the last few memories of his father being stolen,” said Cpl. Scotty Schumann in a release. “It defies logic as to why someone would even want to steal them given their value is purely sentimental. Hopefully the suspect will realize this and return the collection or someone will recognize it and help get it back to its rightful owner.”
