Motorcycle legend John McGuinness has spoken out after leathers he wore in a famous race were stolen during this year's Isle of Man TTs then found just hours later.
'The Morecambe Missile's iconic gear - worn by John when winning at the TT races in 2015 - was on display in the fan zone when it was taken.
John and his wife Rebecca used social media to appeal for the leathers' safe return.
Within hours, the leathers were found and reunited with the 23-times TT race winner.
Posting on his @jm130tt Instagram page, John said: "So happy to be reunited with these, so sentimental to me, massive massive thanks to Isle of Man Police and The Street Diner for pulling out all the stops to find these.
"Thank you all for making this happen and the power of social media. Thanks again."
Rebecca posted on X: "John's leathers have been found. Whoever took them dumped them pretty quickly! Thank goodness we got them back. Thank you for all your help."
Earlier on Monday, John had posted: "Absolutely devastated that this pair of leathers I won my last TT in 2015 have been stolen out of the street diner in the fan zone. They mean so much to me. Reward for any information leading to their return."
Fans rallied round the 52-year-old motorbike star from Morecambe, posting messages of support on social media.
'The Morecambe Missile' raced in the RST Superbike class at the TTs on Sunday, finishing sixth behind winner Peter Hickman in a thrilling contest on the island road circuit. He's due to line up in the RL360 Superstock race on Tuesday.
McGuinness has 23 wins around the TT course since debuting there in 1996, making him third on the all-time list of winners.
This year's TTs run until Saturday June 8, culminating with the six-lap Seniors race. John has won this on seven occasions including most recently in 2015, the race in which he wore those famous leathers.
