A Tauranga woman is pleading for the return of an "irreplaceable" silver locket containing a photograph of her late grandad that was stolen in a burglary.
Kimberley Bishopp's home on Waihi Rd was broken into sometime between July 8 and 9 while she and her children were holidaying in Auckland.
Police say the offender broke into the home and took jewellery, a cash box and two iPads.
That included a special sterling silver locket given to Bishopp by her grandparents from England when she was 13.
The locket contains a photo of Bishopp's grandfather who died about 10 years ago and has a small piece of Blu Tack holding it together.
