An unpleasant episode saw the Paralympic fencing champion, Bebe Vio, who had a bag with her thesis stolen. The champion wrote a post on Instagram, with a video message, in which she addresses the thief to return the bag.

"If you are the thief and you are looking, please, can you send me the folder with the notes and the thesis? Keep everything, but please give me these things back because I am in a black crisis and I have to graduate. Please!" This heartfelt appeal ends with a video posted on social media by the Paralympic fencing Olympian, Bebe Vio, from whom a couple of days ago, in the Parioli district in Rome, they stole a bag with a computer containing the thesis she wrote in view of the next graduation and also some important notes.

"This is the desperate face of a person whose bag was stolen the other day - begins the blue -. By the way thank you all because I had just returned from my grandfather's funeral, so it was very pleasant to end the day with a theft... But I don't give a damn about the bag, or everything inside. You can keep it all. But please, inside the bag was the computer with my thesis. Written and finished in a file called 'JCU'. And I have to deliver the thesis. Not only that, inside there are also all the notes of another class. If you are the thief, please can you send me the file with the notes and thesis? Keep everything but please give me these things back because I am in a black crisis and I have to graduate".
