A British tourist is appealing for the return of a teddy bear she has owned for more than 40 years after her rucksack was stolen on a Spanish beach.
Sarah Candy was on La Concha beach in San Sebastian when her belongings were snatched.
The former soldier took to social media to report the theft and appeal for the bear’s safe return alongside a photo of it in a pocket of her rucksack.
Spanish media have now joined the appeal to return the bear.
Sarah, from Bolton, Greater Manchester, said in her first Facebook post: ‘What a day yesterday turned out to be.

‘As I was enjoying my final few hours of sunshine on the beach in San Sebastian, my backpack was stolen. Inside were my clothes, jewellery, passport and, most upsettingly of all, Care Bear.

‘For years it’s been an ongoing joke that no matter where I was heading – whether it was a holiday or a conflict zone – the first things I packed were always my bikini and flip-flops.
‘Well, it turns out that’s not a bad survival strategy. Right now, my worldly possessions consist of a bikini, flip-flops, a pair of trainers, a sunbathing sheet and towel, a pair of shorts, a T-shirt and, thankfully, my phone.’

The keep-fit fanatic, who in April ran the London Marathon, added: ‘So while I wait in Spain for emergency travel documents to get me home, at least I’ve got all the essentials covered.
‘I’m still holding out hope that Care Bear might somehow find his way back to me. After nearly 42 years together, I’d hate for our adventures to end like this.’
After local media in San Sebastian highlighted her appeal, which she posted on Spanish-language sites with the help of an AI translation, Sarah updated followers from her hotel in San Sebastian near Spain’s border with France with the message: ‘The emergency passport has arrived and my flight home is booked for this evening, so thankfully I only have a few more hours of enduring this terrible hardship.

‘It’s been a rather unexpected extension to my Spanish holiday, but there are definitely worse places to be stranded while waiting for paperwork.
‘As for Care Bear, I’m still holding out hope that he eventually gets tired of the cocktails, sunshine and attention he’s been getting in San Sebastian and decides it’s time to make his way home.’
Sarah, who now lives in Castleford, West Yorks, added: ‘I’m planning on returning to San Sebastian next Wednesday to see if the police have found anything.’
One San Sebastian resident replied: ‘I hope you strike lucky and get your belongings back. How sad.’
Another, in a direct message to the culprit, wrote: ‘Give the rucksack back you b*****s.
‘Work instead of stealing.’

Jordan Bardella meets Karol Nawrocki in Warsaw
French far-right leader Jordan Bardella began a two-day visit to Poland on Thursday. The purpose of his trip is to meet right-wing and nationalist political leaders ahead of next year’s presidential election in France.
His journey started in Warsaw and will include a visit to the Polish-Belarusian border. It is Bardella’s latest attempt to strengthen alliances with like-minded politicians across Europe, following trips to Portugal, Italy and Belgium.
Bardella and Nawrocki
In Warsaw, Bardella held a closed-door meeting with President Karol Nawrocki – backed by the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party – and Krzysztof Bosak, one of the leaders of the right-wing Confederation.
“European nations must take their destiny into their own hands, and in particular their autonomy, independence and freedom, and France has a role to play and new leadership to offer on the European stage,” Bardella told reporters.
“It is an honour to meet the President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki. A long-standing friendship unites France and Poland, which share many common challenges on the European stage. Today Poland is a key country for building the new European architecture we envisage, based on the protection of borders and economic growth,” Jordan Bardella wrote on X.
After the meeting, the French politician said there had been intensive discussions on the future of Europe, continental security and the essential cooperation between the two countries.
“Thanks to economic development and the protection of national borders in terms of defence, Poland is today one of the most dynamic countries in Europe,” he added on X.
Before his visit to NATO’s eastern frontier, he added that “France and Poland will deepen their cooperation on military matters”, especially “at a time of American withdrawal” from Europe.
Elections in Europe in 2027
The political visit by the National Rally leader ahead of France’s presidential election comes as Poland prepares for its own parliamentary elections, due to be held in the autumn of next year.
Known for his hardline anti-immigration views, Bardella will also visit Frontex’s Warsaw headquarters and the electronic barrier on Poland’s border with Belarus, installed to prevent the illegal entry of migrants.
“This is a gesture of solidarity towards a friendly country, an important European power with which France intends to work if we win the elections in a few months’ time,” Bardella stressed.
