Manchester United footballer Paul Scholes has had his car stolen after he left its engine running while defrosting the windscreen.
Police said the grey Chevrolet estate had been taken from the drive of his house in Greenfield, Oldham at around 08:00 GMT on Monday.
A police spokesman said "inquiries to locate the car are ongoing".
Scholes is understood to have the car as part of the motor company's sponsorship of the Premier League club.
The spokesman added that Greater Manchester Police had issued warnings about "ice bandits - offenders who target vehicles left outside houses, early in the morning, with the engine running while the owner returns to the house".
"Motorists may be tempted to leave their vehicle with the engine running while they go inside to stay in the warm - however, it only takes a few seconds to steal a car when keys have been left in the ignition," he said.
