Dear Sir,

I read the article about a lady leaving her phone in Bewick Cresent Surgery, and pleading with the person who must have found it, as it had not been handed in. She had precious photos on the phone and did not want to lose them.

On the 5th September my parents came for tea to celebrate my Dad’s birthday, I picked them up in my car and we sat down to enjoy ourselves. The dining table gave me a view out to my car parked outside. I saw a woman with a young child walk towards my car and pick something up from the grass nearyby. I thought either the woman or child had dropped something, but about an hour later my parents were leaving to go home, when my mother said couldn’t find her phone. We rang the number, but the phone had been switched off or the sim card taken out. I then remembered the woman and child picking something up from beside my car and I realise it was the lost phone.

As the lady said in ther letter, it is not the phone, it is the photos and messages from loved ones. The phone itself is worth £5 as it is not one of the expensive models.

If the person who picked this phone up reads this and feels like being honest and nice, please just pop the sim card through our letter box or hand it in to Newton Press, so that we can retrieve the photos and messages.

If you decide to walk past my house again, feeling smug, because you dont think I know who you are, think again please!
