The world's fastest man, Usain Bolt, yesterday took to popular online social networking website Twitter to express his sheer disappointment regarding the theft of a prized pair of Puma track shoes in the town of Croydon in London, England, recently.


After setting a new 100 metre world record in 2009, Bolt reportedly signed the spikes which were later framed with an accompanying photograph for display. The pair of spikes was reportedly worth approximately £20,000.


According to Scotland Yard, the items were taken from a warehouse located on Gloucester Road in Croydon, London, England, between the dates of April 26-28.


Seemingly disappointed, Bolt called on the robbers to return the shoes, tweeting: "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?"


Additionally, the track star tweeted: "Breaking News ... All you had to do was just ask me for one ... No need to go stealing the ppl things..Come on now.." with an attached photograph of a newspaper article made about the stolen pair.


Meanwhile, British officials are urging persons with information leading to the whereabouts of the missing spikes to contact them.
