Burglar steals treasured photographs from Ramsgate home
Comments |
A
distraught mother from Ramsgate has appealed for the safe return of
her stolen memory stick, which contained precious photographs of
her daughter who died earlier this year.
The laptop which had the photographs backed up on it was also
stolen.
Rachil Jones, of Crescent Road, was in bed in the early hours of
Sunday morning, as were her husband Taff and her two children, when
an intruder broke into her property.
Among the items taken was a memory stick, carried inside a
handbag, used to store pictures of her 11-week-old daughter Sian
Myfanwy.
The youngster was born with a neuromuscular disorder and was in
hospital for most of her short life. She came home when life
support was withdrawn but died a few days later.
Mrs Jones said: "I've walked along the road and looked in
people's gardens and in Ellington Park to see if the bag has been
ditched. I thought the person would have taken the money and thrown
the rest away. It's of no value to them but means everything to us,
which is what’s so distressing.
"I can deal with cancelling bank cards and changing locks but
I'm finding the loss of the pictures and film very difficult."
The treasured images of Sian had been backed up on the family's
silver Acer laptop, which was also taken, alongside a notebook that
detailed Mrs Jones's pregnancy and the subsequent funeral
arrangements and contained printed pictures of Sian.
