Memories Are Made Of This....As Theives Return 'Memory' Card
While some £40,000 worth of camera equipment is still missing, the burglars who broke into photographer Gerald Crymble's Co Antrim home have shown a softer side - and returned a camera memory card holding irreplaceable images from an Ulster wedding.
Having made off with the valuable equipment from the Whitehead facility they all but destroyed the start of a happy marriage too - as Mr Crymble's most recent work - pictures of newly weds Catherine and Stewart Boyd were gone too.
While the photographer always makes back-up copies of his images - he had not done so before the burglary of his home in the Old Ford area of Whitehead on Saturday - the day after the wedding.
However, after a UTV appeal asking for the memory card - being of little monetary value but being of course 'priceless' to the newly weds - who are still honeymooning in Sri Lanka - it mysteriously reappeared in the post - saving the day - or at least the pictures of the Big Day.
