Found - Small waist pouch with personal items
Hi. I found a small waist pouch with cards, keys, etc belonging to Avinesh Pratap. Can you please contact me or if anyone knows this person?
If not I will hand into the police station tomorrow.
Tried going to the local JV police station but it was closed. Called the station number listed and an "event number" has been created. I was told by the person on the phone they will let me know when the station will be open for me to go drop off the item; alternatively if a car is passing by my place will pick it up from me.
If any one has other suggestions to help that would be great.
Today is Thursday and I received a call from the Police communications officer. She suggested that I try again to go down to the JV station and if it is not open to give 105 a call and they will see if there is a car passing by. Like really? Otherwise she suggested that I go into the Victoria Street station which is open 24 hours. Unfortunately I don't go into town regularly.
Today is Friday and I tried going down to the JV police station this morning........again it was closed. If I head into town tomorrow I will drop it off at the Victoria Street station.
I have handed in the waist pouch over at the Victoria Street Police Station yesterday, Sunday 17 Jan 2022.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
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?

36.7% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.3% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Some Choice News!
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!
