CAN you help a family find a watch of immense sentimental value, which was stolen during a burglary in Castle Bromwich during the Easter holidays.
The item in question was bought by a woman, who has sadly since passed away, as an 18th birthday present for her son.
Since the boy is still only 15, he had never even had chance to see his mother's gift - which had been specially engraved.
The woman's daughter said the family had been "devastated" by the theft and made a heartfelt appeal in the hope of finding the irreplaceable timepiece.
It is a solid gold men's Longines watch with a brown leather strap. The family are unsure of the exact wording of the message on the back - it was engraved almost a decade ago - but it is along the lines of: "Alexander, I love you. Mummy".
The burglary itself took place on either April 9 or 10. The first date is thought more likely as detectives have said there were a string of other break-ins that evening.
Enquiries with local pawnbrokers have thus far drawn a blank.
Anyone who has seen the watch or has any information can call Solihull Police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
