Safe jumpstart
We kiwis love to lend a helping hand, to be that one good "bugger"; but it's better to be cautious.
To check rego plates using carjam.co.nz and NZ Police websites is a part of our protocol for any car found incorrectly parked, on a weird spot, potentially abandoned, damaged or with people inside and lights off. It's not a "stolen vehicle" procedure but more a "vehicle worthing attention" thing, anyway we advise you to use the same protocol specially if you're going to help an unknown person, on a lonely street, late night and with no lights to see as it was the case last night.
We decided to use these photos, with consent of the person on them, to show another service we give during our patrols: we try to help members of our Community. We want to build stronger ties among our neighbours and encourage solidarity with our example.
Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?
Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.
Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.
So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Plastic pickup with bonus battery on Takapuna Beach
Short evening pickup run included a swelling lithium battery pack from a drone - circled in red. Found it on the sea wall, so someone was thoughtful enough not to put in the nearby rubbish bin.
