Meals on Wheels volunteer's car stolen while out delivering lunches
Hi neighbours,
An 81-year-old volunteer has a message for the thief who snatched her car while she was out delivering hot lunches to the elderly and disabled – it could be your loved one left starving.
Widow Myra Brown, who donates to her time to the Meals of Wheels service, was dropping off food to a disabled woman in Woolston in Christchurch about 11am on Monday.

When she returned minutes later, her white 2007 Suzuki Crossover was gone.
