Safer plates + engraving tools
We are very proud to bring, for the first time in Beach Haven, this event to make our Community a bit safer. Thanks to Beach Haven & Birkdale Residents Association for let us use their car park and to Birkenhead RSA and Beach Haven Tennis Club for covering the cost of materials and tools we are able to offer these services free of charge. We're also grateful with NZ Police for its involvement.
Bring your car to have your rego screws replaced by tamper proof screws or bring your tools down to have them engraved.
Saturday 4 February,
10am - 12pm
Residents Association Car Park, 336 Rangatira Road, Beach Haven
Thieves have been targeting cars parked on streets at night to get legitimate number plates to disguise their stolen cars identity. Replacing the standard rego plates screws with tamper proof screws will protect your vehicles.
Tradies power tools are not so valuable for thieves if they've their rightful owner ID engraved. Should the tools get stoled and recovered, Police can easily get in touch.

1.4% Other - I'll share below
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?
⚠️ 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 ❤️
