Car windscreen smashed last night
Hi everyone,
Just posting this so that people in the area are aware and can be more vigilant.
Last night, someone tried to break my mum's partner's car windscreen. Why the windscreen and not the drivers door window, I wouldn't have a clue. The thing is, I think I actually heard them trying to do this around 9.30pm - 10pm as I was downstairs at the time. I thought maybe a door had slammed or something had dropped upstairs. I even went to check in the garden and around the side of the house by turning all the lights on. I didn't think that anyone would be dumb enough to try something before 10pm out the front of the house.
I imagine that the security lights might have gone on, they may have seen the light on the side of the house go on, or due to the screen not shattering all the way, they just gave up.
See the picture below for damage. The only thing in the car were some knock-off Raybans. For reference, I live on the mountain side of Stonefields in Tauoma Crescent (neighbours across from me back onto the factories on Homestead Drive).
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
