So I’ve decided to personally offer a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction and/or return of all stolen items.”
“For information regarding the theft or return of these items please contact: Nick D’Argenzio Phone: 818-281-7893 E-Mail: nickdargenzio@gmail.com”

– Delores Rhoads first trumpet from before World War II;
– Fan gifts to the Rhoads family for over 40 years, including memorabilia, photos of Randy Rhoads, Delores Rhoads, Osbourne family and various other instruments.
The musicians sister, Kathy Rhoads-D’Argenzio talked about it, saying:
