THEFT
Yesterday at THRIVE op shop in the Gables Arcade, Rangiora a low life came into our shop and stole a battery powered drill, MARKO brand. it was not for sale, it was my own property, I was using it to do a job but had to do something else and was distracted and I left it on top of a cabinet. It was a very busy morning in the shop. The drill belonged to me, not the shop. This is not the first time a theft has happened to us, our hammer was also stolen a few months ago. We have also had other items stolen over time. If any person can help in the recovery of my drill I would be very happy. I am retired and a volunteer. It may now be necessary for us to install a security camera.

26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
