Lewis Hamilton's luggage stolen in Spain

Formula 1 ace targeted by thieves

Lewis Hamilton was in Spain with his Pussycat Dolls girlfriend Nicole Scherziner

Lewis Hamilton was left fuming at the weekend after his bags were stolen from his car as he checked out of a hotel.

The Formula 1 driver was leaving 5-star Palacio Hotel in Malaga, Spain, with girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger when his thieves ran off with his rucksack and holdall. 

‘Lewis’s driver was cleaning the wing mirrors when two men ran up to the open boot,’ an onlooker tells the Sunday Mirror.

‘The one with the rucksack dropped it but the guy with the smaller piece of luggage kept hold of his. I overheard one of the security men saying it had Lewis’s iPod.’

Unfortunately, both men disappeared into the crowds before guards could catch them.

Lewis, 23, was in Spain for an MTV concert where Nicole, 30, was performing with the Pussycat Dolls.
