Laurence Fox is reunited with his stolen £20k superbike as police track it down

Laurence Fox was reunited with his stolen £20k superbike on Saturday after the Metropolitan Police tracked it down and returned it.

The actor, 42, took to Twitter earlier in the day to reveal the theft, before thanking officers who eventually returned the vehicle to his London home. 

Earlier in the day, the star shared a foul-mouthed rant on the micro blogging site as he slammed the thieves for making off with his bike, which reportedly reaches speeds of 180 miles per hour.

Laurence tweeted: ‘Dear whoever just stole my motorbike. You’re an a**e hole.’

The White Lines star then shared a short video of his Japanese-made Yamaha R1 open class sportbike as he asked: ‘Where are you my baby???’ before branding the thieves ‘b******s’.

Venting his fury at the perpetrators, he raged in another tweet: ‘It’s got a live tracker, the tracking company say that the f**********s that nicked it, go and put it somewhere and wait and see if the cops turn up.’

However, some time after the film star shared his plight with his 188K followers, he later revealed that the MET police had found his bike.

He wrote: ‘They found her! Thankyou @metpoliceukfor finding my baby! Thankyou #metatrack for doing exactly what you say on the tin! What an eventful afternoon…’

He then shared a snap of himself giving a socially-distanced thumbs up to an officer, captioning it: ‘Dear @metpoliceuk I love you. Thank you for finding my baby!’  

Furious: Earlier in the day, Laurence revealed that his bike had been taken, tweeting: 'Dear whoever just stole my motorbike. You’re an a**e hole'

Concluding his eventful day, the TV personality shared a snap of himself kissing his bike, clearly delighted to be reunited with it.  

MailOnline has contacted the MET police and representatives of Laurence Fox for comment. 

It comes just days after Laurence found himself embroiled in another feud, this time lashing out at the BBC after it was revealed that his music would no longer be played.

Continuing his bitter war of words with Radio 5 Live DJ Nihal Arthanayake, 49, the actor and singer, 42, criticised the broadcaster for removing his music from his show – however the DJ hit back by insisting his music is ‘terrible’.

The argument, which kicked off on Tuesday, comes in the midst of criticism surrounding many of Laurence’s views, including shocking comments on fascism. 

On 15 January, Laurence appeared on Nihal’s show, where he discussed his music, acting and politics, before some of his songs were played on the show.

It came just days before Laurence’s now-infamous appearance on Question Time in which he sparked mass fury when he engaged in an extraordinary slanging match with audience member Rachel Boyle, a lecturer in race ethnicity.

He has released two albums – Holding Patterns in 2016, and A Grief Observed in 2019. Holding Patterns peaked at Number 89 in the charts, and spent two weeks in the top 100 before disappearing from the list.

While it was apparent that he is proud of his tracks, he was left raging at Nihal’s criticism of his music – and accused the DJ of ‘attacking’ him.

Nihal responded to a slight from Laurence by writing: ‘Are your sales/streams that low (I know they are) they need a boost? My audience at the time seemed to hate it chum. Replaying it would only further embarrass you.’

Laurence claimed he was being ‘attacked’ by Nihal, as he hit back: ‘Day three now of @TherealNihal using his licence fee funded platform to launch an attack after an attack on yours truly. It’s pretty unpleasant if I’m honest…

‘Perhaps now might be a good time to check your privilege…

’24 hours of constant personal attacks from @TherealNihal. I don’t mind if you hate my music and I can appreciate that nothing would please you more than for me to never work again, but all this hatred because we have different views? #DefundTheBBC…

Shocking: Their bitter row rumbled on over the space of a few days

‘Also @TherealNihal if my music is so dreadful, maybe put it back up online and let others make up their own minds? Rather than having to take your word for it. Here’s the song for those that don’t like being told what to think. #DefundTheBBC’.

Nihal eventually blocked the star, after which Laurence posted a screenshot of the block notification and wrote: ‘That feels better…

‘It’s almost as if he had another problem with me, something deeper and more visceral than just a hatred of my acting, my music and his bad faith perception of my views. I wonder what that could possibly be?’

In the midst of aggressive trolling from Laurence’s fans, Nihal stated: ‘I haven’t seen you act, your music is terrible, it is your dog whistle grandstanding and hatred of the BBC that is annoying. Look at your new legion of fans.’

Happy days! Nihal eventually blocked the star, after which Laurence posted a screenshot of the block notification and wrote: 'That feels better'
