A HEARTBROKEN mum is hoping a thief will return her treasured Christmas memories.

Mrs Cara Shaw (29) of Talbot Grove, Bury, wants to prick the conscience of the burglar who struck recently at her home.

"They took a digital camera, a video camera, a normal camera, a purse containing £40, a bottle of Bailey's and a bottle of Jack Daniels and my family allowance book, but all that can be replaced. What I do want back are the seven video tapes in the camera case," said Mrs Shaw.

"They have footage of my three-year-old son Liam taken since he was a baby and are irreplaceable. We even videoed him opening his presents on Christmas morning instead of taking photographs."

She was bathing Liam upstairs when the burglar entered the house through the back door.

She is offering a reward for the video films and if you can help you can contact Mr Shaw on 07710021663.
