An old Valentine's Day card which may have been donated by accident has prompted a charity shop manager to start searching for its rightful owner. Lyndsey Shir-McDermott-Pour runs the Air Ambulance store on St Peter's Street in Derby city centre.
The card bears two pastel pink hearts on the front and reverse. Lyndsey believes the "beautiful" card was mistakenly donated and is keen to reunite the card with the family who may not realise it is missing.
There is one single clue that may help super sleuth Lyndsey - there is a black-and-white family photo inscribed with a touching message. As reported by Derbyshire Live, the seemingly handmade card reads: 'A Valentine for someone nice on Valentine's Day.'
The printed message inside reads: 'Dearest, the very thought of you is like a song. That makes sweet music in my heart the whole day long.
'Because you mean so much to me, I pray that you glad, sunny days may ever see, and skies of blue! From the person that loves you more than anything else in the world.'
It is hand-signed by 'the person that loves you more than anything else in the world'. The manager said: "Recently we had some donations come in that included a beautiful Valentine’s Day card with a message and a photo.
"I thought it might be nice to try and trace the owners or relatives as it seemed like it might have been donated in error. As we get a stock delivery from our head office, it wasn’t necessarily donated direct to our shop so might not be from a Derby person but still thought it was worth a try to help trace the owner/relatives."
Anyone who recognises the card and the people pictured in the attached photo can pop into the Air Ambulance store opposite the Waterstones bookshop. Ask to speak to the manager Lyndsey or alternatively call 01332 365842.
