He said: "Not the best start to my day!!! Had my car broken into last night.
"They stole a bag full of sweaty gym cloths, another bag with my JiuJitsu Gi in and what’s really inconvenient is they took a set of my prosthetic legs!
"Despite having three cameras pointing at my car I was told by the staff at the hotel that they couldn’t see any activity as the view to my car was blocked by another car (might be time to reposition those cameras.)
"The sad thing is to think that someone would break into a car parked in a disabled parking space and steal equipment someone needs to live independently and not even care."

People responded showing support for the former Royal Marine.
One wrote: "The mind boggles. Do they not know that prosthetic legs are tailored to the person they are made for? So sorry."
Another added: "Solidarity Mark. It’s despicable, hope at least the insurance covers them. Get that it’s not just about that though - some years back I had a wheelchair taken from mine."
Security minister Tom Tugendhat said: "Shameful."
