String of burglaries in Dunedin and surrounds

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Senior Sergeant Trevor Thomson from Dunedin said a van was broken into on Monday in Wray St, Brockville, between 6am and 6pm. Over the hill in Gordon Rd, Mosgiel, a burglar helped themselves to two Oamaru stone sculptures. In town, a Masport lawnmower and petrol container went missing from a property in Edith Pl, Shiel Hill, between Saturday and Wednesday last week.

And lastly a home in Glen Rd, Table Mound, just west of Milburn lost its coffee machine and capsules, cups, stereo, lawnmower and other items, Snr Sgt Thomson said.

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.
