Vuelta spectators rob Ben King
Ben King (Cannondale-Garmin) had a minor mishap in stage 4 of the Vuelta a España, being caught up in a wreck with about 40km to go, and got a little more help than he needed from the spectators on the road side.
King was stopped after being involved in a crash together with Tejay van Garderen (BMC) and a few other riders, and had to wait for his team car to come with a new bike.

One of the spectators grabbed King's Garmin GPS unit, and as he looked around, another spectator trying to ride off on King's Cannondale, as you can see in this video. Fortunately it was the one with the mechanical issue and not the fresh replacement which had not yet arrived.
"Don't know if he was "helping" or taking off as I was searching people for my stolen Garmin. What a cluster," King said on Twitter.
