1970s 16 foot Oxford caravan (Exterior colour is: Pale yellow which looks white from a distance with a green/teal stripe between the windows, salmon cabinetry and burgundy curtains) The van has blue patterned upholstery and light fawn coloured walls. Has been stolen by a guy apparently names John Gareth Hancock (Gareth) in Hasting HB. Sounds like a made up name but I viewed his licence so assumed it was legitimate. Caravan not insured :-(
Police cant find him even through the drivers licence number I gave them. he comes up as not fixed address and he has been in jail a few times.
He said he works for Stu Young motors but that doesn't seem to exist. Ive tried Young Motors but hes not employed there. One staff member there said they had a caravan stolen and they found it in parongahau while on a job.
He mistakenly sent me a message re-diggers so am trying to get hold of digger businesses. Hes not answering his phone and now it goes to voicemail.
Hes given heaps of false details so it looks as if it was planned from the start.
First the caravan was taken to Sylvan rd. On return to this address when the caravan vanished an abusive woman there Kelly hancock (Turns out shes related to him after denying knowing him to police) is not helping. In an argument we had she lied then admitted she knew where he is. Even though I recorded the argument the police said they cant make her tell!! Police have told me she has now threatened to quote: Smash my head in!!
This scummy guy apparently does deliveries in the mornings. Didn't get car rego as I was crazy busy at the time moving..PLEASE spread the word especially out of town re-businesses, accommodation places, storage sheds etc...Thanks so much and PLEASE SHARE this post. REWARD IF RETURNED.
CONTACT ME OR HASTINGS POLICE. THANKS

For some older people Halloween can be a frightening and scary time so here are some helpful tips so everyone can enjoy themselves and come away with fond memories:
- Make it a family affair and go trick or treating with your kids or a group from your neighbourhood.
- Call your neighbours in advance to make sure it’s okay to call in to trick-or-treat
- If you don’t want trick-or-treaters calling print or make a sign for your letterbox or window saying no thanks. (New Zealand Police have had downloadable signs)
- If you are a trick-or-treater, respect the people who have a sign asking for you to stay away
- Keep your lights on and guests outside
- Keep your eye out for your older family members, friends and neighbours this Halloween and make sure we all get to enjoy the celebration.
Remember you can help make this a great celebration for your family and community and a great opportunity to connect with your older neighbours.
If you want to go one step further Age Concern New Zealand would like to encourage all Kiwis to sign up to their Dignity Champion Campaign to show a commitment to breaking down ageism and stereotypes and encouraging dignity and respect for older people.
Become an Age Concern Dignity Champion www.ageconcern.org.nz... this Halloween and involve and celebrate the older people in your lives.

Hi,
This is a family caravan and was kindly rented to him due to the housing crisis. He despaired with it. Caravan sadly not insured :-(
Its a 1970s 16 foot retro Oxford caravan (Pale yellow which looks white from a distance with a green stripe, salmon cabinetry and burgundy curtains) The van has blue patterned upholstery and light fawn coloured walls. Has been stolen by a guy apparently names John Gareth Hancock (Gareth) in Hasting HB. Sounds a mad up name but I viewed his licence. I viewed his licence assuming its legitimate.
The kids and I have been driving around for hours trying to find it.
Police cant find him even through the drivers licence number I gave them. he comes up as not fixed address and he has been in jail a few times.
Due to the privacy act the police reckon they cant get details through Winz, IRD or any other means. Incredible!!!
He said he works for Stu Young motors but that doesn't seem to exist. One of the staff members there had one go missing and it ended up in Porangahau. So it could be anywhere.
He also put down on the paperwork that it was going to 1500 Railway rd Paki Paki but the people there know nothing, the place was as he described (security surveillance, gated, big sheds etc). The residence had a boat go missing some time ago.
CAN YOU HELP?...He mistakenly sent me a text message re-diggers so am trying to get hold of digger businesses. Hes not answering his phone and now it goes to voicemail.
Hes given heaps of false details so it looks as if it was planned from the start.
First the caravan was taken to Sylvan rd but an abusive woman there (Turns out shes related to him after denying knowing him to police) is not helping.
In an argument we had she lied then admitted she knew where he is. Even though I recorded the argument the police said they cant make her tell!!
The Police have since told me (when they told her I was spreading the word on social media). that she was going to QUOTE: Smash my head in!
This guy John (goes by Gareth I think) apparently does deliveries in he mornings. This could be all lies.
Didn't get car rego as I was crazy busy at the time..PLEASE spread the word and share so we can catch these scummy humans..THANKS
