The Australian Olympic teams concerns about safety and security in the Olympic village are back in the news after it was revealed that a laptop and team shirts were stolen from the Australian teams building.

The theft occurred during Fridays evacuation caused by a fire in the basement of the teams accommodation.

Australias chef de mission Kitty Chiller (pictured) has been involved in an ongoing conversation with the Rio organising committee about problems in the village and the latest incident may well be a sign of more problems to come.
