Ohio State wrestler, stolen gold medal reunited

From the lost and found files, Ohio State University wrestler Logan Stieber learned the hard way about keeping valuables out of his car.

On Monday, someone broke into Stieber's Honda Accord near 2nd Avenue and N. High Street and stole several items, including the gold medal he won over the weekend when he defeated Beka Lomtadze of Georgia 8-4 in the 61-kilogram finals at the 2016 World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

The wrestler told Columbus police that he had gone into a Short North restaurant about 7 p.m. for about 40 minutes. When he left, he saw that the window was smashed and that his backpack, passport, gold medal, keys and an iPad were missing.
