Opportunist Theft

Roberta from Mount Maunganui

A couple of weeks ago someone in the dead of night entered my garage and stole an assortment of power tools and various other items. This morning I went outside to get two large sheets of treated board they were gone. They were not on the pavement they were in my driveway I had placed them there whilst I tried to organise my garage. It would have taken two people to carry or flatbed truck.

What makes me mad is I have worked hard all my life for what I have. Well I hope the person/s get what they deserve throughout their life.

So please be extra careful.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
