Warning known thieves working in the area again.
Hi people!
Last night at 2 am a silver/grey sedan pulled into a friends driveway, his house is being worked on and not occupied at the moment. The occupants of the car proceeded to try get in to his house. I would assume to steal tools and damage the house further.(I own the house next door)
Unfortunately when they woke me and I went out yelling at them and they took off before I could get their rego. I have spoken to the police and they have said they have a good idea who it was. Hint, if you have been in Jenks st over the last year and a bit you should have a good idea who it was too. They are well known round Foxton as a family of thieves and have come back before just to kick in the doors and smash up the house after they were evicted for owing a massive amount of rent, intentionally damaging the property and threatening the owner with the mob if he evict them. These people and their "friends" have broken into 2 houses 3 times in Jenks St over the last year and a bit and last night would have made the 4th time if I didn't have a bone to pick with these .....idiots.
Please keep your eyes on your neighbors houses and if you see this happening show these thieves no mercy, greet them with screaming furry and phone call to the police. Break and entry is not allowed round my neck of these woods! ;)
Have a good Easter and be careful on the road!
Regards.

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
