Safe jumpstart

Pablo Delgado from Beach Haven and Birkdale Community Watch

We kiwis love to lend a helping hand, to be that one good "bugger"; but it's better to be cautious.

To check rego plates using carjam.co.nz and NZ Police websites is a part of our protocol for any car found incorrectly parked, on a weird spot, potentially abandoned, damaged or with people inside and lights off. It's not a "stolen vehicle" procedure but more a "vehicle worthing attention" thing, anyway we advise you to use the same protocol specially if you're going to help an unknown person, on a lonely street, late night and with no lights to see as it was the case last night.

We decided to use these photos, with consent of the person on them, to show another service we give during our patrols: we try to help members of our Community. We want to build stronger ties among our neighbours and encourage solidarity with our example.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
