JUSTIN Cramp is facing further heartache as he waits for thieves to return specialist equipment he uses to speak.

The Free Press told last week how Mr Cramp, 30, of West Wycombe Road, had been left "gutted" after the communication aid was stolen.

The father-of two is still unable to speak to his children and has issued another urgent plea for the return of his £2,500 Lightwriter machine.

Speaking through his girlfriend Sheryl Green, he said: "Whoever has taken this please bring it back.

"It's my life. My hope is that they haven't chucked it away because without it I don't know what to do."

Mr Cramp's car was parked outside his flat on Saturday, April 23, at about 4pm when it is believed the equipment was taken.

He uses the device to type words on a keyboard after he lost his voice in a serious car accident nine years ago.
