Has anybody seen a Jayco pop top camper being towed in the Tauranga area with a very distinctive number plate - YIMAN. It was stolen from our driveway in Wallace Td TePuna West today between 8.30am and 6.pm. Were you out walking on Wallace Rd on Thursday?

It was stolen from our driveway in Wallace Td TePuna West today between 8.30am and 6.pm. Were you out walking on Wallace Rd on Thursday?
It is predominately white with brown/ tan highlights. It has a custom made tow rack- bar on the back and it has roof racks ( home made). Its roughly 4.5m when closed down, pretty much identical to the pic below. Any sightings or suspicious activity noticed in the Wallace rd/ Snodgrass Rd area please get in touch. It was towed out of our drive with the handbrake on so probably needed to stop at some point to sort that. It also had a 50mm tow ball which is not standard so you might see it dumped. If they didn't have the correct 50mm tow ball it could easily have jumped off the car. Thanks for any help you can give in finding this

I find the number of dead hedgehogs, pukekos, rabbits etc on the roads absolutely disgusting. I frequently stop and move dead birds and rabbits off Esdaile Road so that I don't have to drive over them or try to miss driving over them.

I frequently stop and move dead birds and rabbits off Esdaile Road so that I don't have to drive over them or try to miss driving over them.
If a member of your family was hit by a car and simply left in the road, you would be outraged. Yet there is clearly no thought or consideration for the animal or other road users. Hit any wildlife, just leave it there. NOT everyone wants to drive over dead wildlife. I am an animal lover and don't have a sensitivity chip missing like so many people clearly do.
How fast does a hedgehog run in front of your car? Clearly so fast that you just can't avoid hitting it. When you see a rabbit or pukeko or hawk in the road, is it a New Zealand sport that you speed up and hit it?
If you just can't miss hitting it, possibly due to substandard driving skills, then have the courtesy to stop and move it out the road. Obviously one can't stop on the highway to move a dead animal out of the road, but on Esdaile, Pahoia, Youngsten etc etc you certainly can. It is just up to the kind of person you are.

Now more than ever, the fern seems to best capture the spirit of our country. If we look to our MΔori roots, we are reminded of the twist or pikorua which resembles two intertwined pikopiko ferns - a fern known for thriving in dark, damp areas of our woods. A reminder that difficult conditions can actually be an opportunity for tremendous growth.
The entanglement of the pikorua also has no beginning or end which is often used to represent an everlasting bond. Although we are all on our own path in life, in the end we always come back together - we are all connected through our interwoven lives.
