Tree Cosies!


Photobucket

Don't know where these ideas come from but someone somewhere decided that tree trunks needed brightening up in Napier. So out came the knitting needles and here you have yarn bombing or knit graffiti, it's a new form of street art. Makes a change to the normal graffiti art!

It's Gone....

Some thieving scum bag stole my Nissan 4x4 off the drive.... Woke up Saturday am and just a big gap on the drive where I parked... Glass on the drive where they popped the passenger window and then drove off! Informed the Police straight away, but haven't heard back from them! Must be too busy sitting outside the donut shops!!

It had a full tank of diesel... so is probably K's away on a remote section with sheep in the back of it by now! Just waiting for the insurance to payout for it, and the contents!! Now have to car share with Dan!!

UPDATE: Had a call from the police saying that some of the property from the car had been handed in to the Napier Police Station. Great we thought! Might give some indication as to where it went! But no! They don't know where the items were found as the desk in the Police Station is not manned and the items were just left on the front desk!!

Also, it seems that if the vehicle is stolen and therefore doesn't exist the Police don't come out or follow up on the initial call. They will however come out if a vehicle has been damaged!! Another point of interest is that when reporting the theft the registered owners details are entered not necessary the callers! From our recent experience it would appear that as long as you have all the relevant information you can report any ones car stolen as they don't checkup!!! Nice one!!
