Timms trap needed

Diana from Tikipunga

I'm looking for a Timms trap asap. I borrowed one from a friend but despite a good spray on the springs it doesn't set off, so there seems to be something wrong with it. The bait is gone each time and it's definitely possums, not rats. So I need one that is known to work.

It's true that you agreed to a legally binding contract as soon as you drove into the parking lot. Thankfully, New Zealand law protects consumers from the exploitative clauses that corporates love to slip in the fine print.

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.
