* Royal Canadian Mounted Police seized a rare Victoria Cross--Canada's highest award for valor--from a London auction house that was about to sell it. It is believed the medal was stolen from the Ottawa-based Canadian War Museum in 1973.The missing medal was originally awarded to Filip Konowal, a World War I veteran who earned it after he single-handedly took out three gun positions and killed 16 German soldiers.
"If it's the same one, we want it back," War Museum spokesperson Mark O'Neill told the Toronto Star.
