THIS letter is to wish the recipient of my children's climbing frame a very happy Christmas.

I hope whoever was mean enough to steal it out of my back garden thinks every time that they see their children on it of the children who have been devastated by its disappearance.

My five-year-old son received the frame as a birthday present and besides the fact that he and his two-year-old brother have been upset by its loss, he is now too scared to play in the garden "in case the robbers come back."

So you have also spoilt any pleasure my children had in playing in their own garden.

I don't suppose this will mean much to whoever received our climbing frame - you can't have a conscience, can you?
