Thiefs, Know Your Athletes

We hear about these things every so often. From Alfonz Juck's EME News:

ATHENS (GRE): Greek media are informing about a recent bad day of 400 m hurdles 2004 olympic winner Fani Halkia. She was robbed as she was in her car and stopped at traffic light. A thief broke the car and grabbed a bag. She tried to chase him with her speed. The thief disappeared and threw the bag into the street without damaging it. The car remained in traffic but all observers were impressed by the speed of the athlete.
