The Chase contestant Shaun Wallace had his backpack stolen at London's St Pancras International after returning from Paris.
The Chase star Shaun Wallace has revealed his backpack was stolen at St Pancras International after he returned from filming an advertisement in France. Speaking on New Zealand's Coast Breakfast radio show, Wallace described the theft in detail. He said a man approached him claiming he had dropped a card at the back of a taxi. When Wallace went to check, leaving his rucksack behind, an accomplice stole the bag.
The stolen backpack contained several personal items, including his car keys, Gucci perfume, and a pair of blue suede shoes. Wallace jokingly compared the shoes to the Elvis Presley song.
Radio host Jase Reeves teased that the story sounded like an insurance claim, and Wallace continued the joke by adding further imaginary items to the list.
When asked by co-host Toni Street if he believed he had been deliberately targeted because of his television fame, Wallace said he did not think he was recognised. He reflected that theft is common when people are not paying attention to their surroundings, saying: 'It's sadly endemic in relation to, if you're not aware of what's happening around you, that's when they strike.'
