Australian Olympic boss Kitty Chiller crossed paths with brazen Brazilian thieves who stole Zika-protective shirts during a fire evacuation, when a laptop was also stolen

Other computer equipment of the Australian team was also rifled through on Friday in the athletes' village, when a fire in the basement of the Australian building forced the team members to evacuate their rooms.

About 100 team members were evacuated for about 30 minutes during the fire, which is when the thefts happened.

Three or four Australian shirts, designed to protect athletes from the Zika virus, were stolen - and Chiller saw the thieves.
