Might be a idea to give them a heads up just in case anyone spots them.

You could do worse than let them know. Or - even better - give Dante your details and he'll pass them on to that forum. Rest assured, if they appear on eBay they'll be spotted.

What type scrote steals medals from one of his own?

Is the rot from civ div emigrating into our forces now?

Fair one. Sorry, just hate to think another soldier would do it. I'm not daft enough to mean tealeaving, but medals ffs.

My house was burgled in January and the buggars stole my medals. (Rather strange as underneath them was a 1oz Krugerand that they didn't take!

A question for the readership:

I am thinking of setting up a website listing a register of missing medals. I realise there may be legal issues, but it might reduce the value of stolen medals and possibly allow some to be returned to their rightful owners.

Would this be a good idea?

cos all civvies are thieving gypos! :D

Not as bad but really annoying, had a regt dinner (stag, no other halves), late evening and the jackets came off. End of night I lift my jacket and my rack of 7 miniatures are gone!
Next day into mess to see manageress, she says nothing has been handed in. So I sent an internal email to all mess members suggesting that they may have been picked up by 'mistake' and theyd be no good to anyone else as they were obviously in the order of the tours Id done. the fact that 1 of them was the OSM for Sierra Leone and I was the only one in the mess with it that it wouldnt be too hard to notice if someone decided to wear them at a future function and theyd only get pennies on ebay as miniatures meant nothing to collectors.
They arrived annoymously in the post a couple of days later.

But they do, what about the S/Sgt in rearparty to one of the Guards battalions who were on ops, he nicked and then flogged the gongs to his mate and was caught because they ended up on e-bay. We have the odd pikey in the ranks as well!
