"I am absolutely heartbroken that this locket has been stolen because it meant so much to me and it would mean everything to get it back," she said.

The 54-year-old said witnesses reported seeing two men, believed to be aged between 18 and 20, outside the property shortly before the break-in.

The motorbike had the registration number PO17 WOD and the man who rode off on it was reportedly wearing an orange hi-vis top.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101, quoting the incident number 961 of August 11.
