Police are appealing for information about a World War I helmet and a model ship stolen from a house in Forss last month.
Officers say the two items hold significant sentimental value to the owners and are asking the public to help them recover the goods.
It is believed the theft took place between August 3 and August 6.
The World War I helmet saved the life of the man wearing it, when he was shot in the head. The bullet hole can be seen clearly on the helmet.
The ship, with white sails, has the name Catherine inscribed on it and sits within a glass cabinet.
Constable Colin MacRae said: “I am appealing to anyone who may have any information regarding this theft. Have you seen these items or heard anyone talking about them? Any small piece of information could assist our enquiries in locating the suspect and recovering the items.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident number 2547 of August 15. Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers and give your information anonymously. Crimestoppers can be reached by calling 0800 555 111.
