Tradies Tools Targetted

Hamish Knight from Wellington Metro Neighbourhood Police Team

Hi Thorndon and Kelburn Residence,

In the last 72 hours Police have received reports of Tradies tools being stolen from either vehicles or building sites in your area.



To prevent this please secure all tools on sites in a locked container or shed and look to have your work vehicle parked off the street inside your property. 'Out of sight, out of mind'



On the 6th March at Placemakers Kaiwharawhara are hosting a Tradies breakfast where there is the opportunity to have your tools engraved, which make stealing tools less appealing and recovering tools back to the owner easier.



Thanks



Sgt Hamish KNIGHT

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
