Thieves who broke into a car parked at the foot of Glastonbury Tor on Saturday also broke a little girl's heart.

Jade Thomas and her daughter, six-year-old Jasmine, had stopped off at the monument to stretch their legs. While they were away from their car, thieves pounced, breaking in and stealing two bags, and items including a wallet and camera.

But the thieves also stole a white and purple Jeep backpack, belonging to Jasmine and containing her favourite soft toy, Pengi, and a security blanket she has owned since birth, lovingly known as Blankie.

"Obviously, I was upset at the car being broken into and our property being taken, but Jasmine took Blankie and Pengi everywhere and she is very upset," said Jade.

"I expect that whoever did this will have dumped them, as they are worthless to anyone except for Jasmine and I'm hoping that maybe some walkers or ramblers may have seen them and can help us to give them back to Jasmine."

Blankie is white or cream with a hole, and Pengi has a cream body, with stripey green feet and wears a matching green-hooded top.

"The penguin was a Christmas gift and Jasmine was so attached to it," said Jade.

"She's never really been all that interested in toys, she just likes what she likes and although she's been a little trooper, she misses him very much.

"The blanket is one that she's had since birth, and I thought that it would be with us always, that I could keep it right up until she is grown up."

As well at Pengi and Blankie, Jasmine's backpack also contained a purple Fuji Z35 digital camera.
