Isla Cooper2026-07-20T04:03:31.000Z

brass is worth sweet f all scrap. more trouble than it's worth

Mia Carter2026-07-20T04:09:31.000Z

Some people have no respect. These plaques mean a lot to the community.

Isla Cooper2026-07-20T04:38:31.000Z

honestly how thick do you have to be to steal the same plaques twice 😂

Mia Carter2026-07-20T05:13:31.000Z

doesn't matter what they spend it on, it's still theft. have some mana

Mason Young2026-07-20T04:51:31.000Z

Bet it's the same idiots who tried selling them at the scrap yard. Hope they get charged.

Why didn't they just put them in a locked case after the first theft?

Sage Lawson2026-07-20T05:25:31.000Z

probably some meth heads. classic whakatane.

Ella Thompson2026-07-20T05:37:31.000Z

true, but still should be common sense

Leo McKenzie2026-07-20T05:54:31.000Z

Good to see police actually did something for once.

Stuff2026-07-20T06:14:31.000Z

Tom Harris2026-07-20T06:08:31.000Z

Lock them down properly this time please council. Don't need a third round of this circus.

Sage Lawson2026-07-20T06:46:31.000Z
