CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Retired Carolina Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis turned to social media Tuesday to locate people who apparently broke into his garage, stole and wrecked his high-priced McLaren.

"What's up IG family so I need you guys help," Davis wrote on Instagram. "If any of you recognize either one of these idiots that decided it was good idea to come into my home and go through all of my cars and even steal and wreck my McLaren. I'm offering a cash reward for anyone that can help identify who these guys are! More videos coming later."

As of Tuesday morning, it was unclear whether Davis had filed a police report under his name. Officials at the Mecklenburg County police department said they are aware of the alleged break-in but said the incident occurred in Union County, outside of their jurisdiction.

Pictures of the McLaren 720S showed damage to the right front side. The least expensive McLaren 720S starts at $299,000, according to Edmunds.com.

As promised, Davis posted more video and a photo of his wrecked McLaren. The videos also include an almost life-size cutout of Davis in his No. 58 Panthers uniform.

Davis retired as a Carolina player in March after spending his final NFL season with the Washington Football Team and former Panthers coach Ron Rivera. Davis spent the first 14 of his 16 seasons with the Panthers, was the team's all-time leading tackler and the first player in NFL history to successfully return from three ACL surgeries on the same knee.

In 2014, Davis won the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award for his community service through his Defending Dreams Foundation that focused on enhancing the quality of life for underprivileged children.
