Boat theft upsets kids

It's very old, it's battered about, full of holes and it wouldn't float.

So staff at the ABC Papamoa West Childcare are baffled why anyone wold steal the white clinker built dinghy from their playground.

'The kids are sad that someone would steal one of their favourite toys,” says ABC's Sharn Blanchard.

'They are quite confused about the whole thing.”

The childcare centre would like the boat back. They think it will be sitting in someone's backyard.

'And it won't be much good for anything,” says Sharn.

The boat was stolen from the centre at 50 Hartford Avenue sometime during the weekend. The trail of sand and shells indicates the boat, which was in the play area by the gate, was simply lifted over the gate.

If you know where the boat is give ABC Papamoa West Childcare a call on (07) 5752055.

Surely a prank - but sadly not likely - the scum that would do this walk amongst us. Time to isolate them once and for all! They do not deserve to live in our community.
