"It is a shame we can't put nice things outside for all to enjoy."

When asked if she had made a police report JY said that she did not.

"I decided to give the thief another chance," she said.

"But I've put up a notice outside my home in case the thief decides to visit us again.

"Hopefully, it will deter her from making the same mistake again."
