Keep your vehicle safe with the following tips ...
🚗 Vehicle parked in a visible location, or off the street if possible.
🚙 Valuables, including keys, removed from vehicle, or stored safely out of sight.
🚗 Vehicle locked & keys taken with you.
🚙 Keys & key chains do not display names, addresses, or license plate numbers.
🚗 Number plates secured with anti-theft screws (available at car accessory stores).
🚙 Alloy wheels secured with fit locking, anti-tamper wheel nuts.
🚗 Car ownership information stored at home, not in the vehicle.
🚙 Vehicle fitted with an anti-theft device, such as a steering wheel lock or alarm.
🚗 If the vehicle is keyless, ‘keys’ (or entry device) kept a safe distance from the car, away from doors & windows so the signal cannot be interfered with.
🚙 Get to know neighbours & their vehicles so you’ll know if you see something that doesn’t seem right.
Always report suspicious behaviour in your neighbourhood.
If it's already happened, phone 105 or report at 105.police.govt.nz.
If it's happening now, call 111.

Government targeted relief
My sister is a Pensioner living in Wellsford. She has an appointment at North Shore Hospital tomorrow afternoon at 2.45pm. The 160km round trip would cost about $50 which is too expensive. Instead, she will be taking a free shuttle leaving from Wellsford at 8am tomorrow, so will have almost 6 hours wait at hospital . It is not only families with children who are struggling. I do understand that not everyone can be accommodated in the relief, but just saying.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
