My hospitalized grandfather's Golden Gloves medal stolen!!!!

[BoogieG]

This is absolutely devastating to our family, and we're afraid of what will happen when we have to tell him his medal is gone. If anyone has any recommendations of media outlets who might be interested in covering our story, please contact me!!!

I would keep an eye on EBay in case the scum that stole it try to sell it on line, ....you could also notify other sellers of boxing memorbilia to be on the look out for it..... I hope its found, ...things like this make me feel really sick.....

This is like the scum that steal campaign medals from war veterans or their families. We had a run of those kind of thefts in Sydney a few years ago.

Fidel LaBarba's 1924 Olympic Gold Medal has also disappeared over the years--last seen in Los Angeles some years ago at a now-defunct Olympic Games museum of some sort, I think. The family continues searching for it.
