The jewelry was allegedly pilfered as Bolt ran his post-200-meter victory lap.
His fans were outraged that someone would do such a thing:
someone's nicked @usainbolt necklace while he was celebrating #ffs hopefully it fell off and not ripped off like Bent's cap at Milwall

Unbelievable!BBC saying Police investigating @UsainBolt's necklace was stolen during victory lap. Seriously? *Shakes head* #Bolt #London2012

If Bolt’s necklace was indeed stolen, the culprit should ‘fess up and return it. What a shameful stunt to pull.
We hope the necklace is recovered.
