ON the morning of July 23 I took my wife to the bus stop in Crook Lane and saw her safely board the bus, then I took my dog for a walk.

I was only away from the house for 20 minutes when on returning I found that the back doors were open.

Somebody had broken in and taken my wallet.

It contained an amount of money and a photo of my mother, the only one I have.

I would appeal to whoever is responsible or anyone who finds the wallet, would they please return it to me at: 244, Crook Lane, Winsford, Cheshire. CW7 3EQ, telephone number 01606 554040, or give it to the police.
