The Team from New Zealand Police

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

Always report suspicious behaviour in your neighbourhood.

Snip n Chip

Beth from Blenheim

Do your pet a favour and help them live longer by getting them desexed. If you can't afford it, please click desexing.spca.nz......
As they will help you.

Or your local rescue organisation.
As cats can revert to being feral away from people and cause more unwanted litters. Make sure you also have a decent job and be able to feed and nurse the cat post-surgery.

There's also pet insurance companies around which you can claim back a percentage of what you pay, if you have a policy. If you really love your pets, you can help them out financially.

Some feral cats can learn to trust humans again given time and patience with a quiet room. They will wind up showing more love than domestic cats. But the main thing is Snip for ferals also.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
