Hard to believe anyone would do this

As Australia emotionally laid cricketer Phillip Hughes to rest overnight, footage has emerged of one Sydney resident who didn't seem to care too much about respecting the life of the 25-year-old. As you'll have seen, the #putoutyourbats campaign was a spontaneous and perfect tribute to Hughes that went all around the world, from Dublin to Durban. Of course, at the Sydney Cricket Ground, they too had left some bats outside in memory of Hughes but unbelievably, somebody picked up and walked away with one of the bats on Monday. Footage of the incident can be seen below. Simply impossible to understand.
