A BLIND woman is appealing for help to recover a stolen planter that has great sentimental value for her.
Sylvia-Jane King, from Barnard Castle, believes the Belfast sink she was using to grow bayleaf trees was taken because of new trends in interior design.
She first noticed it missing from outside her flat, near the Hole-In-The-Wall car park, on Monday, March 19.
The 53-year-old said: “I don’t exactly know when it went walkies. It has been there for nearly two years and no one has bothered with it.
“They are getting put back into houses now because it has come back into fashion. Interior designers are after them.
“That one has moved with me three times. It came out of my mother’s house.”
Ms King added that she had had the sink for more than 20 years and the bayleaf trees she had been growing in it were destined to be given away as gifts.
She appealed to anyone with information to contact police on 101.
