By dawn this morning all sign of it had vanished, as had the Uruguayan ping pong team who were sleeping inside the village at the time of the incident. Unfortunately it appears that the village had not been secured properly to the ground and as such was an easy target for passing thieves." </p> <p>Unfortunately these kind of opportunistic thefts are all too common in London these days and we always knew there would be an increase during the period of the Olympics. These Olympic villages can fetch a substantial sum on the black market". The spokesman also speculated that Brazil might have been behind the theft - "obviously as hosts of the 2016 Games there is an obvious motive" he said. </p> <p>The Organising Committee of the Olympic Games were today bolting all the remaining Olympic facilities to the ground in an attempt to prevent further thefts before the opening ceremony. </p> <p>Hopes that the village might be found were initially raised when a member of the public reported seeing a large concrete structure "looking very strange and out of place", but police later confirmed that the man had mistaken the Olympic village for Milton Keynes. </p>
