A thief is believed to have escaped with jewellery worth thousands of pounds in Aberdeenshire by using a wheelie bin for the haul.
The break-in to the house in Jackson Street, Inverurie, happened late on Friday afternoon.
A "substantial quantity" of jewellery was taken along with personal items.
Grampian Police are keen to trace a man aged about 30 who was seen approaching houses in the area and was possibly carrying a bottle of wine.
The man was described as being about 5ft 9in tall, of slim build, with short light hair, wearing a light-coloured top and trousers.
Police believe the stolen property was removed in a wheelie bin.
