Signed Usain Bolt shoes from 2012 Olympics stolen in burglary
A signed pair of spikes used by Usain Bolt during the London 2012 Olympics were stolen from a home in Derbyshire, England on Sunday.
The white, red, and blue Puma Evosprints, which Bolt wore for a 100m heat, were part of a large collection belonging to an unnamed fan, according to Sky Sports. Bolt won gold in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay at the 2012 Games.
Derbyshire police have arrested a 35-year-old man in connection with the burglary, but have yet to recover the shoes.

"The spikes are part of an extensive collection that I have built up over the last 10 years," the owner of the shoes said. "There are only four or five pairs of spikes that have been signed from the London 2012 Olympics - they are absolutely irreplaceable."
