Back to the matter in hand. For this gentleman, and anybody else for that matter, here is a link to how to claim lost medals:

A couple of points - there is no automatic right to have lost medals replaced. This is to stop people flogging their medals and immediately claiming replacements (I have experienced this when I was in the medal trade). However I dont think this gentleman is going to have any trouble along those lines. Secondly the replacements arent free, no matter how worthy the recipient but personal effects insurance should cover the charge.
Lets hope they turn up, although experience tells me this isn't likely. An unnamed group of WW2 stars and medals can easily be broken up and the individual medals sold - the Aircrew Europe Star is currently worth around £250 so it's an attractive target for an opportunist thief. Good luck to him anyway.
