Former Ohio State 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 North 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 went into a Short North restaurant at about 7 p.m. for approximately 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.
