As a retired police officer, this strikes me as odd. These items are not things usually taken in a break-in, especially by druggies looking for a quick item to trade. My guess is is that is that the thief is someone who has been in the home prior and has an interest(sad to say) or knows of an outlet for these items(usually a collector, which this is a narow field, let's face it) and can get rid of them. When I was also active in WWII militaria, I unfortunately saw this happen more than once, ie: collectors stealing from other collectors. I hope this is not the case, but reality sucks, unfortunately.
