What a bare-faced cheek

DENYS Matthews took a peek in her wardrobe after a party at her Mosley Common home and felt a bit like Mother Hubbard.

Revellers had left her cupboard well and truly bare!

Jewellry, a leather jacket, raincoat, suits, blouses and even face cream went through a bedroom window as guests partied downstairs.

Fed-up Denys, 26, a computer project manager, reckons her house-warming party cost her a whopping £2,000 - in missing items.

Denys told The Journal:"I moved here from Rochdale five weeks ago because I like the area and it is near my job at Salford Quays.

"I knew most of the people at my party but there were a few strangers. The following day someone noticed a blouse on top of a bay window and I realised some face cream had gone missing.

"Jokingly I said I'd better do a stock take but nearly died when I opened the wardrobe to find it empty.

"I don't think it was my day - to cap it all my cat was run over and killed."

A Police spokesman said: "We are following up enquiries with guests."
