Stolen Copper Sculpture

Carolyn from Henderson

Help, this morning two thieves stole a precious memento from from my garden. Can anyone provide any information to help me get it back?

Missing: a copper ‘cooker’ coil that my husband, Keith, purchased from his employer, Cadbury, when they closed his old place of work, the Pascals sweet factory in Rosebank Road, Avondale in 2009.
Location of theft: View Road, Henderson, West Auckland. Thieves spotted the sculpture at 4:15am and came back and collected it at 5:35am, see photos.

Keith died of Motor Neurone Disease in 2022. And this memento means as much to me as it did to him. The sculpture has been in two of our gardens for the last 15 years and I want it back.
If you have any information please get in touch.
Please share this post if you think you have any friends who may be able to help. Thank you 🙏

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
