Mr Harvey, who is a vicar at St Mary's Church in Upper Street, wrote: "I found this man in my house yesterday. Can you help find my late wife's stolen jewellery? Contact police on 101."

Plans for a £200m private railway to improve transport links between Windsor and London have been unveiled.
Windsor Link Railway's "master plan" includes the regeneration of the riverside and the creation of a tunnel to allow through trains from Slough to join the Waterloo line.

Alexander Economou, 37, is accused of harassing David de Freitas, whose 22-year-old daughter Eleanor killed herself three days before she faced court on suspicion of making a false rape claim against Mr Economou.
Prosecutor William Emlyn Jones said the alleged harassment against Mr de Freitas began on 6 November 2014 after Mr Economou learned he was approaching the media about the inquest and allegedly hand-delivered a letter to his home address.
"The effect of the letter was to make him feel extremely frightened and intimidated and distressed," he said.
But David Lee, defending, said the letter was not designed to cause distress or alarm or harass anyone,"
Mr Economou, of King's Road, denies a charge of harrassment without violence.

The initiative comes just days after the high-speed rail operator reported a fall in passenger numbers as travellers "remain cautious" in the wake of the recent Brussels terror attacks.

The World War One battle was fought over 36 hours from 31 May to 1 June 1916 and led to the loss of 6,094 British seamen and 2,551 Germans.
However, the Germans failed to break the blockade of the North Sea by the British, making it a significant moment in the war.
Jack Cornwell, who was onboard HMS Chester, was considered a "hero" because he stayed at his post awaiting orders after all his gun crew were killed or fatally injured, despite having severe shrapnel wounds himself. He died on 2 June 1916.

I hope you can join us for BBC London's lunchtime programme.
New Mayor Sadiq Khan is calling on Londoners to vote to stay in the EU.
He's waded into the referendum debate this morning for the first time since being elected - we'll get the latest from our Political Editor Tim Donovan.
And we'll be hearing about the Jutland "boy hero" Jack Cornwell whose grave has been given a new protected status.
That's all coming up at 1.30pm on BBC One.
Alan Titchmarsh has offered to buy and plant up a pair of garden urns for the doorstep of 10 Downing Street as part of efforts to make front gardens greener.
Describing Prime Minister David Cameron's official London residence as "the greyest frontage known to man", the TV presenter and gardener said he would even return every season if needed to plant new blooms in the urns.
He made the promise at a conference organised by the Royal Horticultural Society, which is trying to reverse a trend towards paving spaces outside homes for parking and ease of maintenance that has left millions of front gardens without any plants.
The RHS, which is running a "greening grey Britain campaign", argues that front gardens filled with plants help wildlife and air quality and reduce the risk of flooding.
Canning Town station was evacuated this morning after a woman got her foot caught between the train and the platform as she was leaving a Jubilee line train.
A jack was used to lift up the train when the woman became stuck at about 08:20. She was freed from the gap at 09:05.
The station was closed at about 08:45 because of overcrowding but was reopened again after 09:15, a spokesperson for TfL said.
London Ambulance Service said the woman suffered a minor leg injury but was not taken to hospital.
Firefighter Llewellyn Legall and his Stanmore colleagues have received a Borough Commander's Letter of Commendation for saving the life of a husky puppy called Max and then raising thousands of pounds to put him on the road to recovery.
The London firefighter helped raise over £8,000 for the severely injured husky that his crew rescued after he was run over by a bus in October 2015.
Firefighter Legall, who used to be a husky owner himself, said: "We knew straight away that the dog was badly injured.
"He was in a terrible state and had actually been 'de-gloved' up to his shoulder, meaning he had lost all of his skin and fur down one side of his body.
"I honestly didn't think he would survive."
A vet was called to the scene and Max pulled through - but Firefighter Legall was told the treatment would cost thousands and the owner couldn't afford to pay the bill, so he began fundraising.
Karen Robertson, from charity HEART brought Max to Stanmore fire station to meet the firefighters who saved him and Mark Barrett from the Dogs Trust, who donated a significant amount to help Max's vet bills.
The charity HEART have been looking after Max and are now looking for the right home for him.

The event will also be hosting the Team GB fanzone from 6 August.
London Fire Brigade says in about half of the fire deaths in the capital there was a delay in calling 999.
That's why automatic sprinklers, a monitoring alarm system called Telecare and flame retardent bedding is so important for fire safety.
The brigade has approved a £1m investment in these fire safety systems to help London's most vulnerable homes.
London Fire Brigade says the reduction in fire deaths is partly down to better fire education of the public.
Last year a total of 36 people died from fires in the capital compared with 47 fatalities five years ago.
HS2 is an over-priced, gold-plated project and will fail in many of its objectives, a group of transport experts has warned.
The independent academics agree the UK needs extra rail capacity and they support high-speed rail overall.
But they say the benefits of HS2 can be achieved much more cheaply, with lower CO2 emissions, and they want their analysis examined by government.
A spokesman for HS2 said options for bringing down costs were being studied.
