Hello neighbours,
Once again we have had our work ute stolen for the third time in 2 years . It was taken in broad daylight this afternoon between 12.45 and 2.30 pm. If anyone out there sees it could they let me know where it is, as we really need it back.
And to those who keep taking it would you please stop picking on the little guy who is just trying to make an honest living, unlike you, who are just out to take what you can get, don't care about anyone but yourselves, and don't care if your actions result in a business having to go bankrupt and putting 5 people out of work.

One of Wellington's new pop-up libraries is safe but “earthquake-prone”, after the council said it was fine, moved in with a Mayoral speech, then slapped stickers on the front doors two days later.
A sign at Te Awe library, on Brandon St, shows the building is at 16 per cent of new building standard, not because it is quake-prone but because it is yet to get the final council tick-off for strengthening work. The Code of Compliance Certificate (CCC) has been described by the council as being in the final stages since at-least July.
There are roughly 560 buildings, including 283 seen as high priority, around the city, which must be strengthened or demolished to meet new earthquake regulations brought in after the destruction caused by the Kaikōura earthquake.
