Kia ora neighbours, a bronze sculpture worth about $40,000 has been stolen from Pah Homestead in Hillsborough.
Matthew Wood, a spokesperson for the Wallace Arts Trust, said the sculpture, created by artist Marté Szirmay, had been in the gardens of Pah Homestead for the past 10 years or so.
Wood said the sculpture, made of about 50 kilograms of bronze, was stolen by two men in a silver hatchback about 6.30am on Monday.
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the sculpture or who saw something suspicious in the area at the time should contact police, on 105 quoting file number 220502/7663.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
