Keep your vehicle safe with the following tips ...

The Team from New Zealand Police

๐Ÿš— Vehicle parked in a visible location, or off the street if possible.
๐Ÿš™ Valuables, including keys, removed from vehicle, or stored safely out of sight.
๐Ÿš— Vehicle locked & keys taken with you.
๐Ÿš™ Keys & key chains do not display names, addresses, or license plate numbers.
๐Ÿš— Number plates secured with anti-theft screws (available at car accessory stores).
๐Ÿš™ Alloy wheels secured with fit locking, anti-tamper wheel nuts.
๐Ÿš— Car ownership information stored at home, not in the vehicle.
๐Ÿš™ Vehicle fitted with an anti-theft device, such as a steering wheel lock or alarm.
๐Ÿš— If the vehicle is keyless, โ€˜keysโ€™ (or entry device) kept a safe distance from the car, away from doors & windows so the signal cannot be interfered with.
๐Ÿš™ Get to know neighbours & their vehicles so youโ€™ll know if you see something that doesnโ€™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.

Tenants trash home, spray graffiti inside and outside

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

A Hamilton landlord has been awarded thousands of dollars after tenants left a rental property riddled with graffiti, damage and piles of abandoned furniture, then failed to show up to their own Tenancy Tribunal hearing.

The Tenancy Tribunal has ordered two former tenants of the Inverness Ave property to pay $2,585.83 after their bond was applied to cover unpaid rent, cleaning, rubbish removal, lock changes and repairs.

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

But whether Hamilton Eastโ€™s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton Westโ€™s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
