Peter Humphreys thinks so, and he's spent the past 11 years managing nightshelters in Hamilton.

"There was a paternal or maternal person running it, and they'd keep an eye on [residents], and they'd have a community," he said, "if they misbehaved they were told off, and hygiene was kept up."

Humphreys is about to step down after spending more than a decade of helping people who wouldn't otherwise have a place to sleep. Read more here.

Hi neighbours,

A South Waikato man has been reunited with his stolen car 47 years after it was taken.

Atiamuri pensioner Clive Macann never gave up searching for his 1935 Pontiac Coupe after it was stolen in Palmerston North in 1972.

He'd first set eyes on the "dream" car as a 13-year-old and was determined to own it. By 16, the car, which was in pristine condition and only one of six in New Zealand, was finally his.

But four years later he found himself in tears after discovering it had been stolen from a shed where it was being temporarily stored while he sourced a new gearbox.
