Rebecca Adlington has Olympic medals stolen
 

not quite sure why I'm so angry about this as there are bigger things to be angry about I suppose, but I am..someone works so hard for many years to be the champion in the pinnacle of sport and you just take it away like that...

No doubt she'll get them back, hopefully

****ing cretins :bored:

do they get given replacements if they lose/have them stolen or damage them?

Maybe, but a replacement would never feel the same

Should have taken better care of them, you can't leave something so precious just laying around.

omg when did we get twitter embedding

People are laughing at her

I don't understand why you'd want to steal an Olympic medal, it's pretty much worthless unless you earnt it.

Lying around? they were in her house!

Its gold, melt dat **** down.

Are you joking? Since when did people need to start having to hide their valuable possessions in their house in order to not be blamed for robbery

Few people have had their medals stolen now. The others got their ones back though. Hopefully she does too.

When the whole country knows you have 2 gold medals and they get stolen because somebody broke into your house and found them framed above your toilet (guess?) you shouldn't be suprised. I feel sorry that she was robbed.

So anyone with valuable items people know about should keep them locked up in a high security vault rather than keep them in their own home to be enjoyed?

I really don't get your logic, she worked really hard for them, why should she not have them in her house to enjoy every day?

Yes, If everyone knew I had these valuable items I would lock them up in a vault.

They've been found :love:

So glad!
