Car broken into on symonds street Royal Oak
Hi Neighbours,
About 4.45am on Sunday morning, my car was broken into parked at the church on symonds street, Royal oak by the big Royal oak round about.
The priest of thee church woke to their house being burgled around the same time.
My handbag and laptop hidden under the shopping bags - which I normally would leave in of course - were stolen.
The laptop bag is very distinctive with a black back and strap and a NZ art design. The laptop is a silver HP.
Inside my handbag which is grey, was a few things including a sentimental ring from Tahiti with two pearls coming together. This would not. Normally be seen in NZ.
There was also a card holder wallet with credit cards, license etc.
They walked down symonds street towards Royal oak intermediate as many items from my bag were scattered along the footpath.
Any help would be amazing even security footage along this road.
A police report has been done.
Thank you all.
Mary

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.
