Can you imagine paper being so sparse and contact between loved ones so infrequent that you'd use every last inch of paper when writing letters?

Four cars worth more than $300,000 have been allegedly stolen from J's Auto Import in Auckland. The thieves also took a safe - which had been bolted to the ground - that contained $6000 in cash and his passport, according to owner, Leo Jiang.

Jiang believed the robbers got into the dealership by breaking a toilet window and using a grinder to cut through metals bars and locks, he said. Anyone with information or who saw anything suspicious were asked to contact police on 105 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Read more about the incident here
