A grieving Scots dad says his heart is breaking after a wallet given to him in memory of his baby girl was stolen.
Scott McPike has launched a desperate plea for a personalised wallet which was given as a Father’s Day gift to him to be returned home.
The blue wallet was given to Scott as a gift from tiny Mia McPike who sadly passed away just four-months old.
Devastated parents Scott McPike, 26, and Laura Ferrans, lost their princess in May this year after she fought against a rare genetic disorder.
Their precious baby never left hospital as she was treated by medics for deformities with her heart, lungs and brain.
Scott who stays in New Cumnock, East Ayrshire has told how the precious item which he “cherishes more than anything” was snatched from him while at work at SCS sofas in Kilmarnock.
Scott told Ayrshire Live: “I never got a father’s day with my baby, it was an early father’s day gift.
“It has a photo of Mia on it – it was the only gift I ever got from her.
“It is sentimental, and it is breaking my heart that someone could take that.
“I don’t care about what is in it. I don’t care about money being spent. I just want it back.”
Scott shared the news of his wallet on social media with thousands sharing to help the gutted dad.
A post on the dad’s Facebook reads: “My wallet was stolen from inside my work today in SCS in Kilmarnock, I couldn't care less about the bank cards or anything in it but I was given the wallet as a gift from Laura from Mia before she passed away and I cherish it more than anything.
“Bank cards have been used in Tesco and Iceland in Kilmarnock since being stolen as well so if anyone comes across it then please let me know.
Records have shown that Scott’s cards were used in Iceland and Tesco in Kilmarnock.
Police are said to be investigating the theft.
Police Scotland have been contacted for comment.
