A reader would like her only car returned.

A reader would like her only car returned.

I would just like to thank you, for stealing my car from under my bedroom window, while I was asleep! Thank you also for the exercise I will now get walking, with an arthritic hip. This, I can cope with, but my son is awaiting knee surgery and has been told not to do anything to aggravate the bone grinding on bone.

We so need the car now and in the future, for CT scans, surgeon's appointments and post operative recovery.

I hope you had a great joyride, bombing up the once a year, full tank of gas that I saved for, to go and visit my daughter and celebrate Waitangi weekend. I know that times are hard for us all, but I walked for nine years with two small daughters, before I could afford to buy a car - obviously you have not!

My old 1996 Nissan Pulsar is not worth a lot at market value, but to me she was worth a million dollars! I know it's a long shot, but if you could leave the car in the WINZ car park at Kamo, I would be most grateful. I have no insurance and now I have no car. Please let conscience be your guide and make my day.
