I posted the link because it listed the awards stolen with photos of each, the idea being to let anyone know these were stolen if they were offered them. The list of stolen medals/orders is as follows:

I doubt very much these were stolen for their gold content, unless it was some opportunistic type robbery. I suspect these, quite rare, orders and medals will find their way onto the market, and may even go back to Russia, where they could be easily sold.
He didn't say if records of his clients were also taken. If this was an organized and planned robbery, to obtain rare soviet medals/orders, then I'd be a little concerned. He would deal with various dealers in Russia all the time, so his address would have been well known. If anyone wanted to steal to order, as I'm sure happens in Russia, then he would be a prime target.
