TV and radio star Liz Cantor is thankful she's alive, following a break-in at her Gold Coast home.

The sun-loving host turned to Twitter for help finding prized possessions stolen in the overnight raid on Tuesday night.

"Please help find stolen SUZUKI grand vitara black 972RUE please RT" Liz posted.

It's believed she was asleep at the time, with the thieves also taking off with her wallet and laptop. But she says the worst of it was the taking of "sentimental possessions - a ring from my mum".

She's trying to stay up-beat and thankful the burglar didn't attack her or her housemates.

"Just wanted to say thanks everyone for all the kind msg's today. Really appreciate it. Here's to health, family, friends ... and a job!"
