The post’s author, Alison Anne, said she had found and bought the locket at a thrift shop after recognizing the man in the photo was connected to the Royal Canadian Air Force, and wanted to know if anyone had a clue as to its original owner; a simple, selfless act that against all odds, paid off. [...] That’s where the locket resurfaced, but according to Brown, it disappeared long before that—perhaps as early as the year 2000 when during a teenager-organized house party, some of her grandfather’s medals and personal items were allegedly stolen.

I wonder, do any of these stories end with "yeah we got rid of it intentionally"?

Probably, I just doubt they're news-worthy enough to be reported on.

"That thing's haunted! I don't want it back!"

I think someone like that just wouldn’t reply to the post about “who’s Lockett is this?” which wouldn’t be very newsworthy.

Here I was feeling like an asshole cause as a kid I stole a block of cheese from a house party. Glad to say my friends and I were not this level of asshole.
