Anaheim Police Department got a pretty surprising call May 25 when an Olympian reported a car burglary, and revealed the prized possession that was stolen was a gold medal. Jordyn Poulter, an American volleyball player who competed in the Tokyo Summer Olympics and won, called Anaheim police to report that her ca was broken into.

"It’s one thing to lose a passport or a phone or whatever, but a gold medal -- that's a difficult one," she said."With all the shootings and the kids, something like this seems so insignificant," she said.

"You have an athlete and all the hard work they put in over four years…and a lifetime," USA women’s volleyball head coach Karch Kiraly said."We are hoping if someone does try to do something like that a local pawn shop or it if comes up on eBay, that they would contact us immediately," Anaheim Sgt. Jacob Gallacher said."If you try to melt it down it's not going to get you very far," Poulter said."The inside is made of recycled computer parts.
