For those of you who have followed us and have asked if we got our Ute and trailer back, the answer is no.
Given that it is fairly distinctively sign written, and someone would have noticed by now if it had been left somewhere, I suspect that it has been moved out of the region. If that is the case, could I ask all of the neighbourly community who have a more extensive social network presence than myself, could you pass on this posting and photo to your other contacts elsewhere and see if it turns up somewhere else. Thank you all, and thanks for all for your messages of support.

Hi there,
Canterbury has been named the fifth most welcoming region in the world in the Booking.com Traveller Review Awards, while Oamaru, Hokitika and Invercargill have been named the most welcoming towns in NZ. They were followed by Cambridge, Picton, Lake Tekapo, Kerikeri, Palmerston North, Paihia and Twizel.
We'd be really keen to hear your thoughts on this based on your own travels around New Zealand. Do you think Canterbury is NZ's most welcoming region? And are these our most welcoming towns?
Where in NZ have you been made to feel particularly welcome on your travels?
As usual, please put 'NFP' in your comment if you don't want it to be included in an article. Cheers.
