A Mount Maunganui man is elated after his beloved guitars stolen from his property were returned to his front gate this morning.
Rob Heath's two "hugely sentimental" guitars were taken from his Bayfair shed on Tuesday afternoon.
He had owned one for nearly 30 years and played the other for
almost a decade, referring to them as a "friend", not just an instrument.
