Navy officer says uniforms and medals stolen in Salinas

A Navy lieutenant commander said he and his girlfriend had everything stolen from their U-Haul last week, after they made a pit stop in Salinas during a road trip to San Diego.

Albert Budaszewski said among the items stolen were all of his uniforms including every medal and ribbon that he has earned over the last 20-years he has served.

The couple said they have filed a police report with the Salinas Police Department. They are asking for the public’s help in finding the stolen items.
