The missing items have probably been fenced to the local drug dealer who has shipped them off to the city where they have been sold on marketplace…hopefully there were no firearms that could easily be reactivate
Keep the two men in jail until they disclose where the stolen objects are. Stealing memorabilia from the Legion is about as low as you can go.

In this liberal justice system,these two guy’s,who obviously were raised by Wolves,if they are willing to rob the legion,they have no concept of what they did.
They will be out,in plenty of time,to sell their stolen, precious items.
That’s the country we are living in, politicians have zero consequences,for their actions,it’s the same with these guys.
Here’s a novel idea…Keep these felons in jail until they reveal the whereabouts of the pilfered objects . Letting them out means they can pursue sales of the stolen items !
