NEIGHBOURS = INTRUDER ON WAIMATE STREET, OTARA
We had an intruder come on to our property last night or it may have been early this morning. Someone saw him, but he took off because a brick from our gate fell and made a noise, so he took off.
Keep your eyes open neighbours. Who knows what he was up to. We have a dog, so I'm leaving him outside. And he will come inside at different times, I get up at different times, so I'll let him in and out of the house.
We will be getting another dog. REMEMBER, if you happen to be the one who has done this and you're reading this message. Something will waiting for you next time. HOW DARE YOU think you have the right to come on to our property. BARE IN MIND, there's someone else who watches your actions as well -- God, our Creator.
You will be held accountable for your actions.

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