Irish comedian Dara Ó Briain has thanked police who recovered his stolen bicycle.
The Mock the Week host told Twitter followers on Thursday his bicycle was found by officers in Hounslow.
He said: "Well, a pleasant end to 2015. Hounslow branch of @metpoliceuk recovered my stolen bicycle. Thank you very much Officers, much appreciated."
Without posting further details of the theft, Mr Ó Briain suggested he tracked down the bicycle on eBay using a fake name.
