Suspicious intruder in our premises @New North Road
Hi everyone
Just letting you all know I had an intruder in our property @ New North Road, at about 11.30 this morning.
He was of a heavier built, wearing a black hoodie, a black cap, plain grey track pants and black and white sneakers. He was carrying a black backpack.
He first passed by our house along the footpath and came back in a minute, walked along our common driveway-shared with another house at the back.
He went to the neighbour's door at the back, knocked at the door and waited there for a good 3 mins for a response! No one was home there.
He walked back towards our house, went to the front, looked into our front room glass window, went back and forth to my neighbour's house, saw me in the kitchen, did not ask me anything. He just walked out.
After he left, I went and checked on my neighbours house, nothing unusual noted.
He spent a good 4 mins on our premises, but did not realise he was being watched on our security camera.
We do have a detailed footage of the whole episode and can release it to relevant authorities, if needed.
But posting it here, just to caution you all, please double check if all your windows and doors are locked. This guy could have been checking and could be back again.
Take care

We definitely need homes that are fit to live in but there are often frustrations when it comes to getting consent to modify your own home.

Chicken Gizzards!
Kia ora Neighbours
I purchased a pack of chicken gizzards from Pak n Save, Royal Oak on Fri 19 April 2024. The net weight of the packet was 1.280Kg. Up on cleaning the gizzards before cooking, I removed 330g of inedible portions. I consider this as fraud because the store charged me for 1.280Kg of gizzards but sold me 950g for the price (photos attached-inedible bits circled in blue).
I took up with matter with Pak n Save, Regional Office and they forwarded my complaint to the Royal Oak store for investigation. The Royal Oak Pak n Save have advised that they are discussing the matter with their supplier, Tegel. During the communication, it was stated by the store that in the week beginning 15 April, they sold 104 packets of chicken gizzards and have not had any other complaints.
If anyone else has purchased Chicken Gizzard from Pak n Save, Royal Oak, have discovered inedible bits in the packet and think that this practice needs to stop as it is resulting in customers being overcharged, please raise the issue with Pak n Save, Royal Oak.
Thank you!
