The US TV host shared on social media that his entire crew for the second season of his food show - Adam Richman Eats Britain - had their van cleaned out by thieves in Barnet.
"We were driving from Birmingham to London, stopped at a rest, stop in Barnet for exactly 4 1/2 minutes to use the restroom, and came back to our van completely cleaned out.
"All of the filming equipment is gone."
He posted that a reward is available for the items and shared their location - due to trackers - on social media.
The presenter has been spotted across the country recently while filming his now show which explores British cuisine and its regional differences.
He added: "Both of my suitcases with all of my possessions are gone. Backpack with my laptop and all of my medications are gone .
"And to make matters worse, because I have trackers on some of my possessions, and because of my laptop, I can see where these things are.
"But we have to wait here for the police. The rest stop won’t release the security footage until the police arrive.
"It’s been almost an hour.
"I’m going to share a few of the locations where I can see my possessions.
"Reward for anything found."
A spokesperson from the Met Police said: "Police were called at 14:49hrs on Wednesday, 23 October following reports of a theft from a van at London Gateway Services on the M1.
"Items including cameras and laptops were stolen.
"Officers are continuing enquiries . No arrests have been made at this stage.
"Anyone with information is asked to call 101 or ‘X’ @MetCC and quote CAD4451/23OCT."
In a later tweet, he then asked people not to intervene to get back his items.
"EVERYONE! PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PERSONALLY INTERVENE OR FIND MY ITEMS YOURSELVES!
"I DONT WANT ANY HARM TO COME TO ANYONE!
"@metpoliceuk - I will no longer be updating location on Twitter as you asked.
