Did the police give you any suggestions for notifying local jewelry stores to be on the look out? Do they think the burglary was "professional" -- IDK if most stolen badges get fenced through ebay, or melted down. I'm guessing a "pro" would know how to fence them with less chance of them being tracked back.

My daughter bought a vintage opal Pi Phi badge a couple years ago, which had been rescued on ebay by one of our Gamma Phi "Crescent Catchers." She offered it through the Crescent Catchers to anyone with a Pi Phi connection. My daughter worked with Fran Becque and they found out the member was still alive. My daughter called her and spoke to her husband. The member sold it herself, because it didn't really "mean anything to her anymore." That upset my daughter, but she feels like it's honored now. She and her lttle took turns wearing it her senior year.
