Warning as our Society gets more problems:
With a bad experience myself while at the Chiefs verses Lions rugby match I returned to my vehicle where I have been parking in a nearby road for several years as a regular member but this occasion found my 9 month old Ute had been keyed and a tyre let down. Talking to several people I have found this isn't a rare happening but actually more common annoyance than expected with several other stories of similar trouble. These work vehicles and similar vehicles have tyres which cost several hundred dollars to replace and it seems a fair amount of vandalism is stabbing the tyres where the only repair is full tyre replacement. Please keep your eyes out for these lunatics and lets put a stop to more destruction of others lives as this problem is made easier by so many hiding on their computers while the world passes them by.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
