Dear neighbours, I am posting this on behalf of a dear friend who was robbed yesterday in Remuera, she lost her 4yo twin daughter a few years ago, and now this ... 🙏 Hoping someone will know something, or please keep an eye out in case her stolen stuff is dumped somewhere. Wednesday between 2:30pm - 4:15pm our home in Remuera, Auckland was burgled & two rooms in particular turned upside down. I do not have contents insurance. From all our passports; lap tops; all my designer shoes; bags; wallets; jewellery handed down from grandparents who have passed away & children’s devices; Play Station; branded sports equipment & shoes through to the most precious & irreplaceable items I own - my Lila 👼 box. In this snakeskin box I had my girls life. The notes she wld write me me from kindy; a gold named Lila bracelet she wore before she passed away; hair ties she wore the night she passed; the hair I cut to keep when she died; the handy cam & Olympus camera with all the footage of moments of my twins life captured before I had an iPhone (the thief/s left the chargers) & wee keepsakes & memories of her all in this one box which was in a bag at the back of my wardrobe - stolen. I would move mountains & give all I have to get this back. If anyone sees or hears ANYTHING at all @nzpoliceforce_ have been incredible thank you so so very much please get in touch. I would be so greatful please if you could all spread the word; thank you so much from us to you; Ana 🙏

Hi Neighbours, does anyone have an old Rabbit hutch or Chicken coop with nest box & small run very cheap or maybe they are willing to donate it to Royal oak hedgehog rescue. I need one before winter sets in. Many thanks Monique

Hey Kingslanders, it seems we have a bike theif going through the area. We have had 2 bikes taken from our car port now, one when we first moved in and one was taken last night. It looks like they have used some sort of bolt cutter to free the bike. We haven't been here very long, and its a shame that it's happened twice already. Keep an eye out for any suspicious people/activity in our neighbourhood! Cheers, Kaine

Does anyone else feel that our beautiful waterfront beaches, Okau, Mission Bay, Kohi & St Heliers are neglected by Council? Any time I get the opportunity to go to the beach it is always covered in seaweed. Does Council ever clear the beaches of seaweed and surely in the height of summer this should be an almost daily job considering many tourists access these waterfront beaches. Am I being unreasonable? Do you think Council should be collecting this seaweed and selling it as garden compost?
