When Usain Bolt discovered a signed pair of his running shoes worth £20,000 had been stolen in London, the sprint sensation wasted no time in calling out the thief.

The Olympic champion was made aware of the theft and 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?

'All you had to do was just ask me for one. No need to go stealing the things. Come on now.'

Bolt then posted a picture which showed him signing another pair of shoes and added: 'Only natural I sign [sic] sum spikes after one of my overly excited [sic] fan stole that one..FedEx straight to London later.'

The orange Puma shoes were framed with a photo of the Jamaican superstar. Scotland Yard said the items were taken from an industrial site between April 26-28.

Dominant: Bolt won the 100m at London 2012 as he cemented his position as the world's best sprinter

Team effort: Bolt, Yohan Blake, Nesta Carter and Michael Frater won the 4x100m final in London

Bolt said "all you had to do was ask me for one" Really! He's going to send a signed one to who ever asks him is he? I don't think so.

I haven't a clue what you are on about, SupremeReds. I can only assume you are either exceedingly drunk, high or otherwise insensible, are still in primary school. (And if English isn't your first language, at least have the decency to run your gibberings through a translation engine.) Your lackadaisical attitude to communication is insulting to your readers.
