Stolen Ute and Trailer
We had our ute and trailer stolen again this morning. I was hoping that the thieves would abandon it in Lombard Street in Newlands like they did last time, but no such luck. Don't you hate it when criminals can't even be consistent, where's their professional pride? Anyway putting the character of some thieves to one side, and believe me I could have a lot to say about these low life's picking on a small business twice in 12 months, who are still trying to recover from the first time they stole from us, as they were so kind in not doing any damage to the vehicle that we couldn't prove that it had been stolen so that our insurance claim was declined. Gee thanks guys!!
Anyway I am asking the rest of you out there that if you see our ute and trailer , ute CCZ737 and trailer Y390M , please let us know so we can get back to work.
Thanks to all of the Neighbourly community out there.
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!
