Kia ora neighbours, a bronze sculpture worth about $40,000 has been stolen from Pah Homestead in Hillsborough.

Matthew Wood, a spokesperson for the Wallace Arts Trust, said the sculpture, created by artist Marté Szirmay, had been in the gardens of Pah Homestead for the past 10 years or so.

Wood said the sculpture, made of about 50 kilograms of bronze, was stolen by two men in a silver hatchback about 6.30am on Monday.

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the sculpture or who saw something suspicious in the area at the time should contact police, on 105 quoting file number 220502/7663.

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟

While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.

We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
