A cat managed to travel 40 miles away from home after he got stuck in the engine bay of a car.
Charlie, a five-year-old rescue cat from Grangetown, Sunderland, disappeared on Sunday morning.
Owner Laura Carroll and her daughter searched the area, calling his name once they realised their family pet was missing.
As time ticked on they resorted to posting online, sharing a picture of Charlie along with a message asking people with any information of his whereabouts to contact them.
Meanwhile, the sneaky cat had managed to hitch a ride 40 miles away from home to Warkworth, Northumberland.
