It was reported in August 2015 that a First World War Victoria Cross group of medals had been stolen from a parked car in Bridge Road, outside the Royal Bank of Scotland branch in Colinton Village, Edinburgh. The theft is thought to have taken place between Monday, 27 July and Wednesday, 29 July 2015, although the VC group was only reported missing to the police on 16 August 2015.

It was initially thought the theft of the Victoria Cross was the group awarded to Lieutenant Colonel Walter Brodie. However, this was not the case.

For the award of the Victoria Cross

[ London Gazette, 12 December 1914 ], Becelaere, Belgium, 11 November 1914, Captain Walter Lorrain Brodie, 2nd Bn, Highland Light Infantry.

For conspicuous gallantry near Becelaere on the 11th November 1914, in clearing the enemy out of a portion of our trenches which they had succeeded in occupying. Heading the charge, he bayonetted several of the enemy, and thereby relieved a dangerous situation. As a result of Lieutenant Brodie's promptitude, 80 of the enemy were killed, and 51 taken prisoner.
