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.'

Did you submit on the city council's long-term plan?
Hamiltonians have spoken out on the council’s budget plans with the city’s massive proposed rates hike a lightning rod for residents already struggling with rising costs.
With more than 3000 submissions landing on the Hamilton City Council’s Draft Long Term Plan the hot topic is unsurprisingly the proposed 19.9% rise, which itself lands in a cost of living crisis and limping economy.
Have you heard about this Hamilton petition?
A group of Hamilton business owners have started a petition to stop the council from hiking up rates and passing the cost of what they say are unpopular projects on to residents.
It frustrates longtime residents Tom Andrews, a former roading engineer who owns Classics Museum and has property interests and Jo Reeder, to see Hamiltonians facing large bills.
