Soldier Jailed 5 Years For Selling Comrades' Medals

I found this news report about a soldier who was convicted of selling his comrades' medals on eBay. He stole medals from eight soldiers who were either on sick leave or on operational duty. He gained a total of £7K from his eBay deals. Soldiers are very attached to their medals, and the worse thing is that some of the owners died while on duty.

I find it weird that there are still people who are naive enough to think they could get away with theft like this, particularly if one has to off-load their loot on a public channel like eBay.
