A lady in the carpark said you had just driven off and another couple saw me take it into the store.

You will know which juice, flavour, brand and size.

Don't forget to take your receipt as proof of purchase to the customer service desk and fingers crossed you will be reunited with the naughty juice bottle which tried to escape.

I'm posting to this here as well as across the West Auckland Facebook pages I belong to with the hope you read this. Good luck😊
