Stolen Marching Uniform

Gloria from Avalon

Hi Neighbours,
I live on High Street, Avalon near Guiness St. Last night my car was broken into and a suit bag containing my marching uniform(s) were stolen from the boot of my car. These items are of no use to anyone else what so ever, but impacts heavily on not just me, but both of my teams.
My elderly neighbour also had a prowler shuffling around outside her house at around 3.00am this morning and other items that had been stolen from my car were found at the back of her house.
Items that were in the suit bag are:
*A black uniform jacket that has a red collar and epaulettes and black red and white details on the cuffs
*A red and black partitioned blouse with long sleeves
*A black and white polo sports shirt with Kapi Mana Insteps Leisure Marching Team on the left side of the chest
*A black fabric drawstring bag with a red cord containing a black "guards" hat with a marching girl badge on the front. There was a red a and white feather attachment inside a plastic bag inside the hat and two pairs of long sleeved white gloves.

All of these items have no value to any one else and I would be incredibly grateful if you would contact me if you find any of these items.
Thanks everyone.
Kind Regards
Gloria

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

scumbags

Sandra from Waiwhetu

There are some really awful people around at the moment. This is what happened on Sunday.
We live in Hinemoa Street opposite the Waiwhetu Stream. At around 3.40 in the afternoon I was looking out my window and saw a car pull up and start to feed the geese and ducks out the window. Then The passenger an asian man jumped out and threw himself onto a goose. he picked it up and put it the boot of the car.
I immediately ran over and stood in front of his car to stop him moving I also called my husband to help. A lovely man was riding his bike and saw it and stopped to help me. The driver tried to drive into me but I didnt move. He tried telling us it was his pet. These are wild geese.

They had a cage in the boot and some wire all ready to catch the poor bird like they have done it before. My husband took the bird from the car and released it. I then moved out of the way and after lots of abuse from the driver they drove off threatening to come back and get more.
No one should be allowed to take these beautiful birds and certainly not like this. they are all starting to have wee babies at the moment the whole thing was so upsetting to me. Another neighbour further down the road also saw it all happen.
Please keep a look out for this car and if you see them by the stream go over and watch them lets all stop this happening.
