Cars tampered with
Kia ora neighbourly neighbours
Yesterday I noticed something different about my car - some pesky basket has tampered with my car firstly removed 1 tyre middle cap hub cap, secondly tried and failed with a 2nd one, the caps on at least 2 of my tyres were loose (as I checked one I noticed it had been unscrewed so I checked the others) and where one of the hub cap mid caps were removed a head bolt has been removed. I’m guessing why the other caps were not touched because who ever was doing the deed was spooked / disturbed by something.
I’ve reported it but officially that’s all I can do really as nothing was seen by anyone, so now I’m putting it up on here to let neighbours know and to keep aware of what’s going on in our neighbourly circle community.
We have lived in this little area for a few long years and have never had anything like this happen before, so now I’m keeping watch getting no sleep hoping to catch some bas-terd in action.
Hard to sleep when you know your property has been tampered with.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.9% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
