Theft from clothesline
Hi Neighbours
I had items of clothing stolen from my clothesline between 1pm yesterday and 8am this morning. How I initially realised, was that when I went out this morning to grab the washing in before it rained, a group of six pegs was placed on the ground, rather than in the peg basket on the line. They were very specific - they didn’t take everything, just my favourite jeans (which are irreplaceable), and a bright pink adidas singlet and workout tights. That’s it. Either I disturbed them without realising, or they were just after those (seems strange).
My property is very well hidden and you have to go through a gate and go around to the back of the house to the line.
I have reported to the police.
Has anybody else had this happen?
Thanks
Jodie, Sunnyhills resident
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
