He stopped me walking along Victory road Laingholm and invited me to go with him and his friends to Piha and said his mother wanted to talk with me.
His mother soon drove up the same road and stopped her car in the middle of the road to speak with me and said there was someone that wanted to meet me.
His mother use to come into the petrol station where I use to work.
Happy for anyone to assist. Sorry I don't have any names.

Images of the smoke began appearing on social media on Friday afternoon.
Around 1.45pm, Fire and Emergency (Fenz) shift manager Josh Pennefather told the NZ Herald a crew was fighting a fire of about 60 square metres in size.
”It’s spreading up hill … [but] there’s no property at risk at this stage,” Pennefather said.
Six fire trucks were in attendance working to contain a grass fire that's spreading up the maunga.
A helicopter was on its way to assist firefighting efforts, he added.
At 2pm, Pennefather shared that the fire was contained and they were working to extinguish it, including “keeping an eye on a whole bunch of hot spots“.
