A theft ring that targeted art and sports memorabilia has been busted. Among the items they stole, besides a Hickok belt given to Roger Maris, were 9 World Series rings owned by Yogi Berra. Those rings were melted down and are now lost forever.

    Even worse that being cut up into pieces to put on a card!!!

    That really stinks to lose paintings and WS rings forever. Hope the thieves get the harshest possible sentence.

    I hate thieves. Punishment should fit the crime. They should be melted down.
