Seeking help

Gurpreet (dolly) from Henderson

Hi Neighbours

I got my Gas Hob installed by a professional NZ certified gas fitter. He gave us the quotation that was including the labour cost and Certificate of Compliance (COC). He came and finished his job, we paid all the money straight away. Gasfitter advised he will sent us the COC later on when he will be working on PC. He never turned up back neither he replied to our calls, emails and text messages. I tried calling his another business partner number that was mentioned on visiting card. He told us the gasfitter has been deported from NZ back to Fiji and he advised us to contact him via Whatsapp. I tried contacting him on Whatsapp he told he will email me the COC ASAP, but after that he never tuned up again and nevere replied to my texts it been more than 2 months now.
Can someone please suggest what should I do?

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards

Dolly

Six tips for improving security around your home

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.

2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.

3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.

4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.

5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.

6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property

Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
