Longford mum in plea for return of phone with baby photos

A young mum has put out a heartfelt plea for the return of her phone which contains precious photos of her baby daughter and videos of her first steps and first words.



Lucy Wilkinson, of Parkstone Road, Longford, lost her phone along the Fletchamstead Highway last Monday. When she realised it was missing she returned to the spot to check but her phone had gone.

Lucy had a collection of photos and videos of her nine-month-old daughter Caitlin saved on the phone.

The 18-year-old said: “I had just recently taken a video of Caitlin taking her first steps while we were at Coombe Abbey and that is the only video we have of her.

“There’s also videos of her saying her first words ‘mummy’ and from the first time she went swimming. I had so many photos of her on there too.

“It’s a shame that I hadn’t backed it up in the last few months and now I have lost it all. We’ll never get those moments back.

“It is quite upsetting really.”

Lucy’s phone was a white HTC Wildfire and was in a bright pink case.

She believes she lost it outside the Subway shop on Fletchamstead Highway at around 5.30pm on Monday September 19.
