Bare Backside On Show In Glen Eden.

Shona from Titirangi

I was in the Hospice Shop on Captain Scott Road in Glen Eden last Thursday, January 25th. I was wearing a pair of shorts and summer top.
While looking at women's clothing when a male approached me and complimented me on the shorts I was wearing. He mentioned how much he liked the lace on the bottom and said he needs to do something like that as his shots were too short. He seemed a bit creepy so I pushed past him and I moved to another part of the shop. I quickly noticed he was right behind me, so feeling slightly uncomfortable, I again moved into another aisle. He saw me and turned his back and I could see he had cut his shorts so they looked like a G string. His backside was literally hanging out of is shorts for all the world to see. He continued to follow me around the store, so I approached two girls who worked there and gave them a description of what he looked like, and how his backside was hanging out of his pants etc. Unfortunately he had seen me talking to them and he quickly left the shop. What bothered me the most was, there were several young kids in the shop at the time. He was quite tall, a bit chunky, had somewhat dark skin, bald head and had a blue and white striped t shirt on, and shorts. He sounded quite feminine when he spoke. I have seen him in that same shop before, and that time he was telling me his shorts were too short and he needed to get another pair. That time he had cut up the front of his shorts, and yes, they were VERY short and his crown jewels were very close to being exposed. He obviously has some kind of mental health issues to be behaving like this in public, and it seems he gets some sort of sexual gratification from his behaviour and the publics reaction. Unfortunately I cannot un-see what I saw! And yes, while it sounds funny, I didn't appreciate it. This all took place around 11-1pm last Thursday. I just hope any children in that shop didn't see what I saw. Just thought I should let people know about him and watch out for him in The Hospice Shop.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

Six tips for improving security around your home

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.

2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.

3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.

4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.

5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.

6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property

Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
