Needed... very wide-brimmed wool felt hat

I just lost my Akubra hat... I think it was a musterers, or drovers, or something like that, of goid quality dense wool felf, designed for long hard wear in steady rain ... mine weighed up to 3kg after a downpour. The wide level brim allowed me to see both ways and straight ahead while clambering … View moreI just lost my Akubra hat... I think it was a musterers, or drovers, or something like that, of goid quality dense wool felf, designed for long hard wear in steady rain ... mine weighed up to 3kg after a downpour. The wide level brim allowed me to see both ways and straight ahead while clambering up and down banks in the bush, while warning me of branches and sharp poky things around me while I am focused on the plant in front of me. ( It was also a good sunhat, especially when I added a homemade neck flap and a chinstrap to maintain air flow above the head)
If you have something similar you could sell me, I would appreciate a call, message, text, message, or email (jenny@northshorewilds.co.nz)
Thank you if you help!

Please follow our top tips to reduce the risk of mail theft:
✉️ Clear your letterbox in a timely manner
✉️ Put a hold on your mail delivery if you’re going away
✉️ Provide clear delivery instructions for couriers to leave a package safely hidden or secured within your property
✉️ Install security cameras and/or security camera messaging near your letterbox or front of property
✉️ Where practical, consider click and collect over delivery
✉️ Send parcels to a work address or ensuring you're home when they arrive
✉️ Contact Police (111 for immediate issues or 105 if it is after the fact) if you see people loitering around vehicles or looking into car windows
✉️ Engage in neighbourhood groups so more people can keep an eye out for suspicious activity

These tips are being shared after a 44-year-old woman will appear in Pukekohe District Court on 28 March charged with theft.
An alleged mail thief in the Pukekohe area has hand-delivered herself into Police, following assistance from the community.
Counties Manukau South Senior Sergeant MJ Riddle says Police were aware of locals discussing a mail theft on social media. A report was made to Police at the time in January and had included enough detail including CCTV footage and a vehicle of interest. Following Police enquiries, the woman has brought herself into the Pukekohe Police Station a few days later

“This is a great result for the community and a timely reminder to the public to continue reporting any thefts from letterboxes.”
Senior Sergeant Riddle says
“Our community should be able to receive parcels and mail without concern of interference but unfortunately there are people in our communities who take advantage of opportunities to commit thefts from mail boxes and front porches."

“We encourage anyone who has been the victim of dishonesty offending to report it as soon as possible,” she says."
