[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 2457829, member: 4910"]From television station KTVU News: (Richmond is located near Oakland and San Francisco, California) [I]A 94-year-old woman was attacked in her Richmond home this week and police say the suspect robbed her of some items she can't replace. Richmond police say around 1:45 a.m. Monday (June 27 2016) a man broke into Betty Reid Soskin's second floor apartment, entering through a sliding glass door. He later made his way into her room where she was asleep. The suspect managed to get away with an iPad, laptop and cellphone. He also took some commemorative coins including one given to her by President Barack Obama for being the oldest park ranger in the U.S. Soskin says most items she can live without, but the coin she received from the president in December is dear to her. Police describe the suspect as a white male in his early to mid-20s 5'8" with a slim build. Officers are also warning people to be on the lookout for the coin. "It will be very obvious when somebody comes in and tries to sell the coins or tries to trade it for something else," says Richmond Police Lt. Felix Tan.[/I] The television broadcast only showed one side of the coin: [IMG]http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_stolencoin_richmond.jpg[/IMG] It appears to be an award token or "challenge coin".
