A "name and shame" video of a Mount Maunganui tyre shop owner confronting a thief has led to an unlikely resolution.
In May, Cooper's Tyres owner Ethan Bryant arrived at work to find a set of mag wheels, worth about $800, had been stolen overnight.
After receiving a
tip-off on where the wheels might be, he tracked down the culprit and demanded the tyres back - capturing the entire encounter on film.
The viral video had reached over 700,000 views on Cooper Tyre's Facebook page and Bryant became an internet sensation, along with his unwitting co-star.
But now the wound has been healed after the man handcrafted two native wood coffee tables as koha to apologise.
