Hugh Grant appeals for script stolen in car break-in

Hugh Grant has appealed for the return of a script that was stolen by thieves who broke into his car.

“In the unlikely chance that anyone knows who broke into my car tonight and stole my bag, please try and persuade them to at least return my script,” the star of “A Very English Scandal” said on his official Twitter account. He added: “Many weeks worth of notes and ideas.”

Grant also asked for the return of his children’s medical cards, offering the west London address of his production company Coach Films as a contact point.

The film and TV star did not offer up any details of where the crime took place or what the script was for in the message to his 335,000 Twitter followers. There were hundreds of responses to the Tweet, but none, seemingly, that offered any information likely to lead to recovery of the script and other missing items.

Grant won acclaim last year for his portrayal of disgraced U.K. political leader Jeremy Thorpe in limited series “A Very English Scandal,” which was on the BBC in the U.K. and Amazon in the U.S.

The “Four Weddings and Funeral” and “Paddington 2” star’s upcoming projects include Guy Ritchie movie “Toff Guys.” On TV he will star alongside Nicole Kidman and Donald Sutherland in HBO’s upcoming six-part series “The Undoing.”
