WARNING! SUSPICIOUS PEOPLE (Thieves)
Earlier today, a maori guy wearing a black basketball jersey, brown shorts and tattoo on right arm (tribal/timoko looking) knocked on our door claiming that he's looking for an old lady and to pick up a car. He cannot say the name of the person he's looking or the house #. He could just be randomly going into houses and knock on the door. This is a known tactics for thieves, if they knock on the door and no one answer then they'll attach and take whatever they can. I also noticed that few houses away from us, there are two young teenagers that could be an accomplice or with them. And saw them heading 5x roads. I have phoned the police and reported this incident. Please be aware of your surroundings and be careful guys!

Poll: Do you think workers are taking up too many CBD parks?
Central city businesses are losing shoppers because workers fill up all the car parks, a Hamilton retailer says.
The “P” word came up when Hamilton City Council met with members of the Hamilton Central Business Association last week - and a councillor told retailers worried about parking changes to make themselves more attractive to customers.
Do you agree with retailer Barry Radford of Hanrad Bespoke Rugs, who says more parking buildings for workers are needed?
