Stolen car reunited with owner after 47 years

Hi neighbours,

Hi neighbours,

A South Waikato man has been reunited with his stolen car 47 years after it was taken.

Atiamuri pensioner Clive Macann never gave up searching for his 1935 Pontiac Coupe after it was stolen in Palmerston North in 1972.

He'd first set eyes on the "dream" car as a 13-year-old and was determined to own it. By 16, the car, which was in pristine condition and only one of six in New Zealand, was finally his.

But four years later he found himself in tears after discovering it had been stolen from a shed where it was being temporarily stored while he sourced a new gearbox.

Sharonika finds resilience through Graeme Dingle Foundation

Graeme Dingle Foundation

Teen Sharonika Prasad used to be scared, of life, of opportunity. She lacked self-confidence. ‘‘I had a negative mind set in which I had beliefs that I would never be successful at anything, with a very low self-esteem. ‘‘I made excuses because I had no motivation and little confidence and … View moreTeen Sharonika Prasad used to be scared, of life, of opportunity. She lacked self-confidence. ‘‘I had a negative mind set in which I had beliefs that I would never be successful at anything, with a very low self-esteem. ‘‘I made excuses because I had no motivation and little confidence and I let life pass me by even if it was a wonderful opportunity because I was so afraid of the unknown.’’

Not anymore! Prasad, 18, and the youngest in a family of five, is now working as a caregiver while studying a foundation course at NZMA for occupational therapy and has realised she ‘‘could do anything’’. She is the first in her family to go to university. The South Auckland teen has found her potential with the help of our Foundation that aims to transform young Kiwi lives.
