Family desperate to find stolen preemie photos

A New Westminster family is desperate to find precious family photos stolen by thieves who took their computers and backuphard drives during a burglary last week.

Kailey Toth says she was shocked when thieves ransacked her house in the middle of the day last Wednesday.

They broke the door in basically, she told CBC News. They went through the whole house... top to bottom.

I dont care who has them, how they got them, no questions asked. I would just like to get them back.- Kailey Toth

Toth said the thieves took the family computer and the backup hard drives containing photos of her three-year-old son Finley.

The photos of Finleyare particularly precious to Toth.Finley was a premature baby and weighed just four poundswhen he was born at B.C. Womens Hospital.

"He was in an incubator, in the NICU and we couldn't hold him at first, Toth explained. So those pictures are when we first took him out and when my husband and I first held him.

Toth and her husband say they have been scouring Craigslist, pawn shops and back alleys in search of the computer and hard drives.

I know it's a needle in a haystack. They could literally be anywhere but I just feel like we have to try, Toth said.

I dont care who has them, how they got them, no questions asked. I would just like to get them back. I haven't been able to sleep. I see the pictures in my mind, over and over again.

Toth says the thieves also made off with a locket she wore on her wedding day the same locketworn by her great-grandmother on her wedding day, in 1911, which has been passed down as a family heirloom.
