In an uplifting sequence of events, Arthur and Janet Sims, a couple from Grantham, have been delightfully reconnected with their beloved love letters dated back to 1962, lost during a burglary in Lincolnshire. These letters were surprisingly discovered by Shirley Elmore, who was magnet fishing in a Birmingham canal. The letters were discerned tied with a blue ribbon, having been postmarked from Nottingham. Following an appeal broadcast on television, the letters were successfully returned to the Sims, a couple who have been in wedlock for six decades. Lincolnshire Police remains persistent in their investigation concerning the burglary, which resulted in the theft of other valuable items. The Sims expressed their deep appreciation towards Shirley for rescuing their heartfelt mementos, with Arthur emphasizing that the letters possess ‘the same value as money.’
