Sons stolen scooter

Ricky from Burwood

Hi everyone,

Today (Sun 30th Aug) at around 2pm my 10yr old son was at Thompson Park skate park with his nana riding his new scooter that he got for his birthday.

2 older boys who he think were early teens asked to ride it and ended up running off with it.

His nana was unaware as she was also watching his smaller cousin at the time but realised when he came to her quite devastated.

I spent a few hrs driving around Brighton but we didn't see it again.

If your son turns up home with a new looking green scooter (MGP VX9 PRO) that they didn't have before today it may be my son's.

Its a long shot but I had a 10yr old crying himself to sleep tonight. He has learning difficulties and is just really trusting so this is a tough lesson for him.

Scooter looks like the one attached.

Thanks everyone. May be a good thing I didn't find the kids yo be honest....

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
