Stolen Copper Sculpture

Carolyn from Henderson

Help, this morning two thieves stole a precious memento from from my garden. Can anyone provide any information to help me get it back?

Missing: a copper ‘cooker’ coil that my husband, Keith, purchased from his employer, Cadbury, when they closed his old place of work, the Pascals sweet factory in Rosebank Road, Avondale in 2009.
Location of theft: View Road, Henderson, West Auckland. Thieves spotted the sculpture at 4:15am and came back and collected it at 5:35am, see photos.

Keith died of Motor Neurone Disease in 2022. And this memento means as much to me as it did to him. The sculpture has been in two of our gardens for the last 15 years and I want it back.
If you have any information please get in touch.
Please share this post if you think you have any friends who may be able to help. Thank you 🙏

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
