Religious artwork stolen from Wellington church

Tom Harris2026-07-23T05:33:44.000Z

ffs, it's not like they can fence religious paintings without someone noticing. hope they get caught soon.

James O’Brien2026-07-23T05:53:44.000Z

yeah nah, they'll probably pop up at an auction in aus knowing our luck.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-23T05:55:44.000Z

probably already sold to some dodgy collector overseas. great work cops.

River Cole2026-07-23T06:11:44.000Z

cops never catch these types mate, too busy issuing speeding tickets.

Alex Rivera2026-07-23T06:17:44.000Z

such a beautiful church, those icons were precious to the community. hope they come back safe.

River Cole2026-07-23T06:29:44.000Z

just what wellington needs, another theft in a church. real low move.

Reese Morgan2026-07-23T06:42:44.000Z

church should've had better security. CCTV is cheap these days mate.

James O’Brien2026-07-23T06:51:44.000Z

yeah nah, insurance will cover it but the sentimental value is gone. poor bastards.

Reese Morgan2026-07-23T07:07:44.000Z

i mean $50 on a camera and sign would've helped. not that hard.

Morgan Lee2026-07-23T07:03:44.000Z

anyone know what the artworks looked like? might see them on trademe lol

Morgan Lee2026-07-23T07:36:44.000Z

lol imagine the auction listing 'mysterious religious paintings, no questions asked'

Ben Sullivan2026-07-23T07:18:44.000Z

what a load of shit. hope whoever did this rots.

Rowan Blake2026-07-23T07:55:44.000Z

mate trademe cops ban those quick, they'd have to go dark web

Rowan Blake2026-07-23T07:24:44.000Z

this is so sad, St Peter's is a historic landmark. the icons were 19th century apparently.

Ben Sullivan2026-07-23T07:49:44.000Z

get stuffed, trademe is fine for normal people selling their nana's junk

Tom Harris2026-07-23T07:36:44.000Z

typical, no respect for anything sacred anymore. sad state of the world.
