TheStar.com: RIO DE JANEIRO—A laptop and team shirts have been stolen from Australia’s accommodation at the Olympic athletes’ village while the building was being evacuated because of a small fire, the head of the team’s delegation at the Rio Games said Sunday.
Kitty Chiller said other computer equipment was “rifled through” but was left behind during the theft on Friday.
She said security seems to have improved, but called the theft “concerning.”
Security is high on a long list of many problems — including the Zika virus, water pollution and slow ticket sales — that are confronting South America’s first Olympics.
“When you’ve got 15,000 beds, you’ve got a lot of people walking around the village,” Chiller said. “I’m not accusing anybody, but there’s a lot of non-accredited — if you like — workers, cleaners, housecleaners, and maintenance workers walking around.”
She said “unfortunately, theft is going to be inevitable.” MORE
Look who’s talking, bread thieves. Y’all are southern hemisphere trash.
I’m sure Rio in the 1960s was a blast to hang out in. Not these days.
I suggest they use their return tickets home before they get stolen as well. Like, tomorrow?
All my leftover popcorn from the Democrat National Convention is now earmarked for the Olympics.
I can’t believe they allowed the games to be held in that shit hole. They could have gotten a little bit better (not much) if they’d held them in california.
