A REDDITCH woman is trying to trace some sentimental items which were mistakenly put into a car boot sale.

Carol Hartwell is appealing to car-booters to return goods they may have bought from a sale at Weights Lane.

The items were mistakenly sold by her husband and include things left to them by the couple's late parents.

Mrs Hartwell said: "The items I'm particularly upset about are a sitting ''sad clown'' figure and a china lady ornament - about 12 inches tall with blonde hair, wearing a long white dress, sprigged with flowers."

She would like to hear from anyone who recognises these figures and has offered to pay to get them back.

She can be contacted on 69553.
