Tauranga Burglars...Grrr

**Kittyhawk** · 12th September 2009, 11:26

5 Teens involved...they took the following last week,

1 hot water cylinder
18 roof tiles
several meters of guttering

A house which is a do up job - my parents current project - got broken into teens took what they could (luckily there was nothing in the place) then raided another house up the road taking another hot water cylinder, guttering etc.

Dad reported it to the cops, then to the scrap metal man in the area, the next day two of the burglars dropped off the hot water cylinders and were caught on security camera.

The burglars came back several days later, but by that time dad had boarded up the broken glass in the front door, took off the door handle to prop the boards up properly, they broke in again, tried to raid the place but couldn't get out as there was no door handle on the inside....so smashed a window leaving blood everywhere. Cops have a second lead now.

If you live on or near Fraser road, be careful lock down your bikes and hot water cylinders.

Anti vandal paint - never dries, never comes off clothes and takes ages to get off skin.

A mate who will remain nameless had a simular problem on a worksite so linked some easily picked up gear to a thunderflash (flashbang to our american and gamer forum users). Let just say it worked. Strangely enough one of the subbies on sight had suffered sudden hearing loss the next day....quite a coincidence no?
