Gold Medal Stolen!!!!

Filed under: Zportz

How low to steal this from an athlete!

A recent Olympian has just reported his medal stolen.

Brendan Hansen won his gold medal in a four-by-100 meter medley relay with Michael Phelps. He also finished fourth in the individual breaststroke.

Hansen was on a flight home to Austin from Philadelphia, with one quick stop in Nashville before arriving home.

But according to Hansen, he says he last saw the medal at the Philadelphia International Airport when a TSA official checked his backpack.

Hansen was in Philadelphia to appear on Good Day Philadelphia and also receive the Liberty Bell Award.

It's still not clear whether the medal went missing in Austin, Nashville, or Philadelphia.

Cops are still trying to determine if Hansen took the medal out of the plane or if it was stolen from him.

Let's hope they find it.

    Re: ShesACarbivore – TSA. I put a piece of junk jewelry I acquired thru my auction (it wasn't worthy enough to get an appraisel) anyway, I just slipped it an area that I KNEW they'd check. Well, guess what? It was GONE. Could have happened between Ontario, California to Phoenix, AZ or my final destination, Tampa, FL. They're sneaky thieving bastids!!
