Robbed tourists view of NZ saved by Good Samaritan

rusty180 This country really has some scum bags in it. Fortunately there are still some people around who give a damn. If you know the man in the Photo on the right. Call the police and tell them of his whereabouts.

I was disgusted to see this story on the news. I honestly hope NZ will help catch this prick. I know the country is too P.C. to let the tourists have a “go” at him. But the idiot deserves everything he gets.

Two American tourists have been left high and dry after a New Zealand man they thought was their friend stole their car and left them stranded with nothing else but the clothes they were wearing. But believe it or not, the pair say the experience has introduced them to the best of Kiwi hospitality.

Secure your Wireless Network

Posted under Technology by Kimberly on Friday 10 October 2008 at 11:12 pm UTC

Just saw this on the late news on Tv1 routers

Online buyers who think they have bagged themselves electronics at prices too good to be true, could be right. The team at TradeMe have led police to a Hamilton man they claim used fake identities to sell electronics at a bargain. The 29-year-old is also accused of hijacking people’s wireless internet connections to sell the goods. He is facing 46 charges.

You have to be brainless not to secure your wireless network or at least have a bloody good reason to have one that’s open.

 

I can’t believe in today’s day and age people are so uninformed about the issues surrounding an open wireless network connection.  Maybe I should believe it. There is an unsecured wireless network 2 doors down from us.

 

Come on people, It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to secure a wireless network. It’s not like you wouldn’t have got a manual for your router.


Women warned about serial bag snatcher

Having read this on 3 News’ web site

Women in Auckland’s eastern suburbs are being urged to be on the alert for a serial bag snatcher who has struck five times in the last few days.
National > Story > Women warned about serial bag snatcher

brought to mind, the amount of women who have their handbags sitting in the ‘child seat’ of the trolley at super markets. What’s even more surprising is the amount that you see open and unattended while the owner browses the shelves looking for the items they want.

I hope they catch up with this gutless moron, who needs to pray on elderly women.
Be careful out there girls. It could happen to any one of us, anywhere. I’m sure situations like this are not just limited to Auckland


What is this country coming too?

It’s really sad when you read things like this.

Police say a young man who was shot three times at his home in Papatoetoe early on Sunday was executed while walking up to his front door.

and

Police have spoken to a "person who is of interest to them" following a two-hour sexual assault on two teenage tourists at Tokomaru Bay, north of Gisborne.

It makes me sick to the stomach to think I am proud to be a kiwi. Stories like this really make me wonder what this country is coming too.  Bring back the death penalty. I really think it’s time this country ditch the "slap on the wrist with a wet bus ticket" justice system.

I know it doesn’t just happen in New Zealand, but I was always proud of our kind hearted nation. Though that is slipping away.


Go the Truckies

Ok so this is not very technical.

But I have to agree with what the Truckies in New Zealand are doing with their efforts to protest against the Governments increase of Road User Charges.
