This is the moment a jubilant Giles Coren punches the air as he is told by the Met Police they've found his stolen £65,000 eco-Jag - 24 hours after detectives closed the case due to a lack of evidence.
The TV presenter, 51, was left fuming yesterday when officers told him they were unable to search for his beloved Jaguar I-Pace, just 47 minutes after opening the inquiry.
This then forced him to get on his 'b*****d' bike to try and find it using the car's tracking system, for the second time in just three months.
Mr Coren shared his north London ride from Kentish Town to Camden with Twitter followers last night after being told of the location it was last 'pinged', but failed to find the vehicle when he arrived.
However, he announced today on his Times Radio show that the car has since been discovered, suggesting officers were cajoled into action after the story appeared in newspapers this morning.
He told listeners: 'I arrived at work to a phone call from the police, saying: ‘We have found your vehicle at 10am today.
''The car is even now on this street in Camden, they asked if I wanted to come and get it but I said I’ve got to do this radio show.
'I wondered briefly if Mark [Dolan, his co-presenter] could carry the whole show.
'The car keys are in the house. The police now have to take it to a pound in Perivale, like it’s been clamped.
'I can't actually get it for about two weeks but the car is back.'
Mr Coren also posted a video on Twitter of the moment he received the call from the force, where he is seen punching the air and telling followers: 'They found my car.'

This is now the second time the journalist has been forced to turn detective after his beloved car was stolen from outside his home in April. At the time, the Met Police were similarly as reluctant to help, telling him they didn't have the 'manpower to investigate'.
In April, Coren was able to reunite with his stolen car after it was spotted abandoned in Highgate.
But just three months later, he suffered the same fate despite following instructions from the manufacturer and paying out £3,000 for a new tracking system.
His frustration was then compounded yesterday when he received an email from police - just 47 minutes after he was given a crime reference number and told the theft would be investigated - that the case had been closed.
The force told MailOnline earlier there were no witnesses and a lack of CCTV in the area, meaning they had to 'prioritise our resources to be able to cope with the demand'.
Mr Coren then claimed to have 'tricked' an officer into revealing the location of the car after it was still pinging a signal somewhere in Camden.
Despite apparently being warned not to go hunting for the car for his own safety, the food critic decided to jump on his bike last night in a desperate attempt to track it down.
He told followers in a video: 'Heading off now, down into Camden to the housing estate where the car was last pinged. It's probably been stashed in the car park there.
'I'm travelling on my bicycle with the added incentive of course that if I don't find my f***ing car, I'm going to be travelling around on this b*****d for the rest of my life.'
Mr Coren told MailOnline yesterday: 'It was nicked from outside my house again.
'This time I had the keys in lead boxes and everything as I was supposed to make it impossible to
