Usain Bolt has record-breaking cleats stolen

Seriously, who would do this? According to TMZ, Olympian gold medalist Usain Bolt had his pair of record-breaking sprinting cleats stolen. Bolt wore the cleats in 2009 when he broke the world in the 100m dash, and they were being displayed in a commercial building in London.

The cleats were signed by Bolt and valued to be worth more than $20,000. Shortly after the incident, Bolt took to Twitter to call out the thieves.

What a generous deed by Bolt to send new cleats back to London, and here’s to hoping that the original record breakers are found and returned, while the thieves are rightfully punished.
