Bedford County military family wants coins back

Someone breaks into the home of a local military
family and steals precious memories of one man's
time in the Marine Corps.
Chad Krantz collected Marine Corps coins during
his six years in the service. The coins are
handed out like business cards and traded like
trading cards among the ranks. Some also
celebrate milestones and special events.
The coins do not have much monetary value. That
didn't stop a burglar from taking several of
Krantz's coins from his wife's jewelry box.
One of the stolen coins was given to their 8
year old daughter by a fellow Marine the day
they deployed to Iraq. That Marine was killed
in action a month later.
Jewelry was also taken from the jewelry box. The
burglar also ransacked the children's bedrooms,
stealing a small amount of money they had saved
to give to a school charity project. The burglar
also rumaged through the refrigerator, so the
family had to throw out all the food inside
and buy new groceries.
An investigator with the Bedford County Sheriff's
Office tells 10 On Your Side they're looking in
pawn shops and online for the coins.
If you have any information that could help them
locate the coins call (540) 586-4800.

I don't get it. Did he piss and shit all over their food? Why throw it all
away unless it was all opened up?

Well I would be worried about what he might have done to the food.

Right......burglars aren't in a hurry, so they'll spend all day tainting
everything in your refrig and cupboards.

I'm saying you never know. I could be someone they knew who want to
get back at them for something. Some people work and think in weird
ways. How do you know hes not the type who might like to have sexual
relations with food?

It could be someone they knew. Sorry fixing my mistake on the last
reply....

There have been plenty of cases in the news wheree burglars took the
time to snack on the contents of their victims' kitchens. All it
takes is one spot with the little bastard's germs on one food item.
My analogy of you dropping your turds in the punchbowl turns out to
have been rahter fitting in this example. If you aren't worried about
contamination from some junkie turned burglar, "Let Lorrie try it -
she'll eat anything!"

The coins you had stolen at the Fun Show can be written off on your taxes,
just in case you didn't know. As long as you have a copy of the police
report.
