Former England footballer Gary Lineker has offered a reward to his near two million Twitter followers if they help catch the person that stole his sick mother's car from outside a hospital in Leicester.
According to Metro.co.uk, the Match of the Day presenter is normally known for making jokes on the social network and sparring with TV personality Piers Morgan, but this time he used the online medium to appeal for help finding the thief that took Margaret Lineker's vehicle.
The 53-year-old is eager to retrieve the car stolen from Stoneygate because it contains a number of his mum's personal possessions, as she was in the middle of moving house, the report said.
He had flown Margaret, 74, to England from Spain so she could receive private hospital care and describes her as 'heartbroken' after the theft, the report added.
He added users should contact the police if they had any information, according to the report.
