A pensioner has seen her jewellery stolen after two thugs offered to carry out some garden work for her and were paid for doing it.
The woman, 79, was midway through the work on her home on Clydebank's Stevenson Street when the two came by around 11am on Tuesday, August 18.
After completing the work, one of the men asked to use her toilet and then, after being paid, they left in a grey saloon car before the woman noticed the jewellery had been lifted.
