POLICE are investigating similarities between motorhome thefts in Surrey and Bromley.
A six-berth Swift Sundance was stolen from a front garden in West Wickham a week after six motorhomes were taken from a Horley depot in Charlwood Road.
Heather Pearse, of Lime Tree Walk, West Wickham, is appealing for help finding her parents motorhome, which was stolen on Easter Sunday and contained a Scout blanket used in the air-raid shelters during World War Two. 
Surrey Police and the Met are not yet linking the thefts.   
Ms Pearse, 34, contacted thisissurreytoday after a Surrey motorhome was returned to its owners following a media appeal.
"It was heart-wrenching to realise it was gone," she said.
It was fully stocked but the family is most upset about the blanket, which is decorated with her father's scouting badges, dating back almost 60 years.
Her father, 71, a former Scout and Cub leader in Surrey, had been given the blanket by his parents when he was 13.
"He remembers going down to the air raid shelters with it," Ms Pearse said.
"That [the blanket] had become a family heirloom. My brothers are in the scouts now and it would have been kept in the family forever."
Four of the Horley motorhomes are still missing. Two men remain on bail after being arrested on suspicion of theft.
A spokesman for Surrey Police and the Bromley Met police said they were liaising to see if they are linked.
Anyone with information should call Surrey Police on 101, quoting reference MV/13/1119 or Bromley Police on 101.
