Consider this: you’re waiting to be picked for the NZ Paralympic team and training your arse off to show the selectors you’re ready, when someone nicks your car, containing all your training equipment. Well that’s just what happened to previous Paralympic medallist Matt Slade, when thieves stole his car, along with all the stuff in it, including specially-designed trainers and even his wheelchair! Some people, eh?

Let’s hope the idiots who took it realise that a wheelchair might actually – shock, horror – be quite valuable to someone and return it!
