Posting on Facebook, South Yorkshire Police's operational support team said: 'On searching the Astra we recovered some cash (not saying how much), so if the driver wants to ring us and come and claim it feel free, or we could put it into police funds instead and crush your car at the same time!'

Members of the public had their own suggestions about what to do with the recovered cash.

Bob Hirst suggested: 'Why not give it to the charities that help homeless people as a gesture of goodwill?'

And Stephen Shaw commented: 'Enjoy the money, SYP, and have a good Christmas party. You guys deserve it with the dangers you guys face and the low points you go through in your job.'
