Jamie Theakston fumes at thieves who stole his vintage Triumph convertible car – but warns the criminals they ‘picked the wrong one’
Jamie Theakston fumed at thieves who stole his vintage Triumph convertible car on Sunday night.
The TV presenter, 52, took to social media on Monday after realising the motor had gone as he blasted the ‘p***k’ who took it.
However he also issued the criminals a warning that they ‘picked the wrong one’ as he vented his frustrations.
He said: ‘To the p***k who stole our car last night – you picked the wrong one – it’s completely unique and everyone is looking for it – spread the word.’
Images he posted of his green convertible showed his cute dogs sitting in the backseat in a snap outside his home.

Alongside the Twitter post he attached some snaps of the 1977 Triumph Stag as he cute pooch sat on one of the seats.
And his wife Sophie also took to social media to share the ‘horrible news’ and encourage people to help them find the vehicle.
She penned on Instagram: ‘This car was my pride and joy. If anyone tries to sell you this car please do let me know! @stagownersclub #stagownersclub #stagowners #triumphstag.’
Jamie has previously had his motor stolen in October last year.
Speaking on his Heart FM breakfast radio show at the time, he said: ‘It was 2am when my doorbell rings and it’s the police.
‘They say ‘Mr Theakston your car has been stolen. It’s just appeared on a tracker and it’s about an hour away.’
He added: ‘I quickly realised that the woman had nicked the keys off the table in the hall-way.’
It comes after last year Jamie lost the latest round in his battle to further develop his back garden by constructing an outbuilding with a gym and a home office.

The radio and TV star drew up plans for the 40ft wide outbuilding at his £9 million mansion in October 2021 – just three years after he enraged his neighbours by building a new house at the end of his garden.
Council officials refused planning permission for his latest project, saying that the ‘excessive size’ and the ‘appearance’ of the outbuilding would have a ‘harmful impact’ on neighbouring homes in a leafy conservation area.
Concern was also raised that the inclusion of a kitchenette in the plans went against local planning policies as it could ‘facilitate the future conversion of the single storey garden room to use as a self-contained independent dwelling’.

The former presenter of children’s show Live & Kicking who currently hosts Heart FM’s breakfast show with Amanda Holden appealed against the ruling.
But his appeal was dismissed by a Government planning inspector who said the development would breach planning policies by spoiling the view of his garden in Chiswick, west London.
The inspector also remarked that the proposal to cloak the building in black steel cladding would be in ‘sharp contrast’ to the traditional building materials used in Theakston’s neighbourhood.
Theakston who lives with his wife and two children is now trying to get around the reversal by drawing up new plans for an outbuilding with a separate yoga studio area replacing the kitchenette and a shower room.
