STOLEN Gallagher S10 Portable Solar Fence Energizer Unit
My horse grazes in the paddocks on the corner of Sandhurst and Maranui Roads, between Bayfair and Papamoa. Some very sad person stole my solar fence unit between 5.45pm on Sunday 28 May and 5.30 pm on Monday 29 May.
This person would have had to climb over the fence on Maranui Road, enter the property, cross the paddock, walk past my horse and disconnect the unit, returning along the same path carrying the unit.
I take great care of my horse – this unit helps to keep him safe in his paddock and away from danger. I am gutted to think that someone has chosen to put my horse, and the public at risk.
I imagine this unit will be used to cultivate drugs, or be sold for money to purchase drugs. Sad.
I only hope some other horse owner hasn’t stolen it for their own horse(s). That would be even sadder.
The unit has a black front panel and rear orange casing. It has a red connector on the top right hand side of the unit, with a green connector below it. It has S10 marked to the left of the green connector.
Whatever the reason, I am giving you the opportunity of returning this – no questions asked. You have the chance to clear your conscience and begin to turn your life around. You can call me on 021 285 6609, or just pop the unit back into the paddocks somewhere, then call or text me that you have done the right thing.

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
