Stolen watch turns up after 20 years

A family heirloom, stolen nearly 20 years ago in a robbery, has turned up in perfect working order on grassland only a mile from where it was taken.

Kathleen Dooner now has the precious pocket watch back in her family after 16-year-old Nathan Walsh found it while walking across a green area in Navan, Co Meath.

Nathan accidentally kicked the timepiece as he was coming home in recent weeks. Realising it might be valuable to someone, he brought it home to his parents.
