Olympian Joe Jacobi took gold in Barcelona in the men's double slalom event, but back in June his was stolen from his car while he ate in a restaurant. A thief in Atlanta smashed the window of his car and took the medal, and he spread the word on social medal and offered a reward to anyone who returned it. 

The medal was eventually found in a heap of trash by a 6-year-old girl (who has since turned 7).
