CHRIS Evans’ stolen bike has finally turned up – in LITHUANIA.
The Radio 2 host was devastated when his bike was stolen from outside the BBC studios nine months ago.
But police managed to locate it after its electronic tracking tag was suddenly activated again.
Dad-of-three Chris told radio show listeners: “Do you remember when I had my bike nicked from outside here? Well, yesterday the police phoned me. They have found my bike.
“I asked them, ‘When can I have it back?’. They said no time soon – it’s in Lithuania.
“It’s got a special tag on it. Whoever stole it switched it off and must’ve thought it was safe to turn it back on again.”

Chris was pictured taking a ride through Notting Hill last year on an electric bike, believed to the same one that was stolen.
The bike is worth £3,299 and was taken from outside BBC Broadcasting House in central London.
The former Top Gear presenter had another of his posessions stolen last month.
His personalised number plate was ripped off his Aston Martin car and he was forced to drive away with it still missing.
It’s been a rough few months for Evans, who hit the headlines earlier this year when he quit his presenting gig on Top Gear and announced he wouldn’t be returning to the franchise, despite signing a three-year deal.
He was panned by fans during his one and only series as host, alongside US Friends star Matt Le Blanc.
Just last week former host Jeremy Clarkson took a cheeky pop at Chris.
After test driving the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and the BMW M4 GTS, Jeremy told the audience: “I admire BMW for really trying with that car, I really do. But my god, they made a hash of it.
“In fact, I’m trying to think of a metaphor for someone who’s really tried their hardest with something and it hasn’t worked.”
He then turned to look at his co-hosts Richard Hammond and James May to see if they could come up with anything, before adding: “No, nothing’s coming to mind.”
The three previous Top Gear hosts broke Amazon’s streaming records when they launched new show The Grand Tour last month.
The series, which cost £160million to make, has been dubbed ‘one of the most exhilarating TV series ever’ and is already a hit with fans.
The 12 episodes are being released weekly for Amazon Prime customers in the UK, US, Germany, Austria and Japan and the show will go global this month, premiering in over 200 countries and territories.
Jeremy, Richard and James sensationally quit Top Gear in 2015 and Jeremy was accused of punching a member of production staff in a row over a steak.
