Porthoustock Coastguard search and rescue team have issued a reminder to walkers not to leave rucksacks unattended on the coast, because as well as the risk of theft, they may be spotted and spark a major search.
The reminder came on Facebook after the team reported being called to look for a possible missing person at Kynance Cove, who was later located safe and well.
