Keep your vehicle safe with the following tips ...

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.

If it's already happened, phone 105 or report at 105.police.govt.nz.
If it's happening now, call 111.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? πŸ₯¦πŸŒ±πŸ₯•

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
