Greek soccer / football team in South Africa robbed
Associated Press at the Washington Post news story of the Greek players hotel rooms being burgled:
" Three Greece players at the World Cup have had money stolen from their hotel rooms, police say.
Lt. Colonel Leon Engelbrecht said Thursday the unidentified players reported $1,921 had been stolen from their rooms on Tuesday night at the Beverly Hills Hotel in the resort of Umhlanga, just north of Durban.
Engelbrecht said the Greek squad has told police it doesn't want a case opened over the theft.
The theft happened only hours before three foreign World Cup journalists were robbed, one at gunpoint, at a hotel in Magaliesburg, in the northwest of the country. The journalists lost money, camera equipment, laptop computers and mobile phones."
