Chickens stolen from Papatoetoe West school
Our four chickens were stolen at 11:40am yesterday Saturday 28th August. Two men have been arrested and claim they were asked to help a third man to rescue the chickens because he was a vegan and wanted to look after them himself. The men dropped this man off in Otahuhu but can not say where as they were given directions. Third man not named or found and has the chickens. They were still alive when the man was dropped off. Please help get the word out so we can get our beloved chickens returned home.
Description: 1x white with floppy red comb, 1x orange brown with floppy red comb over eyes, 2x grey and white speckled one slightly smaller than the other one.
Answer to Whitey, Mighty, Bluey and Tweety.
If you know anything please contact the Police on their 105 number.
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?
