Residents at an Auckland retirement village are noticing a rise in random items being stolen from their front door steps. Sentimental ornaments, a bird bath and a chair are just some of the items being taken late at night, a resident says. The 76-year-old, who didn’t want to be named, says the burglaries have unsettled elderly residents at Elmwood Village in Manurewa. Village management says it’s dealing with the incidents “in house”. Some stolen items had been located on a Facebook buy and sell page.
