Spoiling trick or treat
To the young young teens who chose to steal everything from our unattended candy stand and upturn our (albeit small) Halloween display - shame on you. Yes, I was taking a risk leaving it unattended but we were out trick or treating ourselves and didn’t want anyone who came to our house to miss out. Hubby heard the noise and saw what you’d done as you hot-tailed it down the driveway. It’s deeply affected both my boys - one of whom is autistic and is increasingly of the opinion that teenagers are ‘mean’. My elder son, who is 10, was the most upset and you ruined his whole evening. What a memory to leave 2 young kids. I hope your teeth rot.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
