JACK COLLISON had his Mercedes stolen from a casino — before Twitter blasted him for driving it illegally.
The former Wales international posted the reg number online but tweeters quickly ran it through the Government’s new tax checker site.
Former Wales international Collison had a bad night on Wednesday
First his team West Ham lost their FA Cup quarter final against Manchester United .
Then he lost money at a casino and when he came out he discovered his Mercedes had been stolen.
But his social media appeal to get his car back uncovered another blunder, the fact that he hadn’t paid tax on his megabucks motor.
In the moments after the 27-year-old former footballer discovered his car was missing, he took to Twitter to tell his 17,000 followers: “My car has been robbed from Milton Keynes casino…
“If anyone sees a black Mercedes around Mk — RX15TGN — please report it #cashreward #RT.”
But Collison made a schoolboy error by posting the reg number as eager Tweeters quickly ran it through the Government’s new tax checker site just to check he hadn’t been driving it illegally.
