Be alert. There are petty thieves and opportunists going round at night when they should be asleep like the rest of the world.
The 'good for nothings' are obviously going down the roads trying out the car doors. My wife is usually the good one in locking her car door and I not so but last night, we can only assume that perhaps she'd thought she had locked it or simply pressed the wrong button.
They had rummaged thru the glove compartment and obviously found the garage remote which they stupidly thought might've been my vehicle's remote. They pressed the button which alerted our youngest daughter when the door opened. It also made them run for it fortunately leaving behind the remote. Luckily they only got away with some cheap jewelry.
Be alert!! It could've been worse and they could've been pro's and not petty thieves. And OH!!!! Btw......... still waiting for police to pick up their side of the line once we're thru 'State your Emergency.'

What's your favourite piece of Waikato history?
Car parks inspired a milking shed design that took off around the world and became a piece of Waikato District history.
A hundred-year-old church and gravestones from the 1880s will also feature as the district turns the spotlight on its past for its first Heritage Day on April 20.
