Māori carving found in bushes after being stolen from Auckland apartment building
A “treasured” Māori carving stolen from an apartment building has been found in bushes not far away.
The carving was stolen from the Fernz Motel and Apartments in Birkenhead, on Auckland’s North Shore, on April 28.
A man was captured on CCTV taking the “unique” piece, then leaving on an e-scooter.
It was found by a member of public over the weekend and has been returned to its owners, police said.
An investigation into the theft is continuing, and police are appealing for the public to help identify the man seen on CCTV.
He was wearing a grey hoodie over white overalls when he was caught on camera just after 5am.
“Why would someone be wearing these distinctive white overalls early in the morning?” detective constable Alistair Harford said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on 105, quoting file number 210428/9644.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
