Stolen Marching Uniform

Gloria from Avalon

Hi Neighbours,
I live on High Street, Avalon near Guiness St. Last night my car was broken into and a suit bag containing my marching uniform(s) were stolen from the boot of my car. These items are of no use to anyone else what so ever, but impacts heavily on not just me, but both of my teams.
My elderly neighbour also had a prowler shuffling around outside her house at around 3.00am this morning and other items that had been stolen from my car were found at the back of her house.
Items that were in the suit bag are:
*A black uniform jacket that has a red collar and epaulettes and black red and white details on the cuffs
*A red and black partitioned blouse with long sleeves
*A black and white polo sports shirt with Kapi Mana Insteps Leisure Marching Team on the left side of the chest
*A black fabric drawstring bag with a red cord containing a black "guards" hat with a marching girl badge on the front. There was a red a and white feather attachment inside a plastic bag inside the hat and two pairs of long sleeved white gloves.

All of these items have no value to any one else and I would be incredibly grateful if you would contact me if you find any of these items.
Thanks everyone.
Kind Regards
Gloria

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

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

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
