Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt has called on a thief to return a pair of signed running shoes after they were stolen in London.
The Jamaican athlete alluded to the theft on Twitter by posting a news story claiming that the Pumas are valued at £20,000.
Bolt tweeted: "I know u love me..but please why u had to go stealing that signed Usain Bolt spikes in Croydon, England..I know u going to return it. Right?
"Breaking News..All you had to do was just ask me for one..No need to go stealing the ppl things..Come on now.."
The runner also posted a picture of him signing a new pair of shoes, with the message: "Only natural I sign sum spikes after one of my overly excited fan stole that one..FedEx straight to London later."
Scotland Yard have claimed that the running shoes, which were framed alongside an image of Bolt setting the new world record in 2009, were taken between April 26 and 28 from an industrial site.
