I'm writing in the hope some kind soul reads this.

On Thursday, December 23, I was coming back from a dream holiday in Lapland with my daughter.

I had worked hard all year for it and was so upset when my bag was taken on the last train from Gatwick to Chichester.

Not only did it contain about £500 and euros but our passports, mementoes and mobile phones. But worst of all, it held my digital camera with about 180 photos of our once-in-a-lifetime holiday.

We are upset and hope someone may know something about the bag. I so want the camera memory card, if nothing else.

My number is 01273 410380.
