Crooks stole £9,000 worth of jewellery from a disabled woman's home.
The items had been the lifelong collection of multiple sclerosis sufferer Marion Taylforth. Mrs Taylforth, 62, and her husband Ronald, 63, found their Accrington home ransacked after a shopping trip.
Mrs Taylforth said: "They were my only pleasure. I feel terrible."
