Her 3-year-old daughter was in the lounge and her 7-month-old son was sleeping in his bedroom while the burglar rummaged through her freezer. When Miss Evans came inside, the freezer door was open and emptied of its packs of frozen meat, including chicken drumsticks, steaks and schnitzel, as well as one of two loaves of bread. "Nice of them to leave me the second," she said.
"People are desperate - that's why I haven't bothered with the police." She was unsure whether the person had been watching for her to leave the house, but said they must have known her partner wasn't home. "I'm angry - this is the first time something like this has happened to me."
Miss Evans admitted she was a little nervous and was glad she and her family were moving next week. They have been in the house for 10 months. "It's completely weirded me out," she said. "We can't afford to replace it all but we've still got food so I'm not worried about that." Miss Evans has been telling other residents to "put a padlock on your fridge people". And she warned others in her area to "keep an eye out".

Okay, for a good schnitzel, I might be tempted, too.

Another brilliant picture. You're a genius at finding them, Kev!
Thank you Barbwire!
I'm not sure I'd use the term genius, mind. :)
Brilliant ? That picture is an image of the 'endemic' style of house built by the Labour government of New Zealand in the 40's and 50's. Termed a 'state house', a term reeking of socialism, these abodes primarily house the socially dependant.
However, when my father was head hunted by the NZ state TV corporation in the late 60's to assist them with the transfer to colour, we, as a family, were allocated a state house when we first arrived in NZ.
Imagine if you will my life back then.
An 11 year old British boy, short, tubby and white, forced to live next to and go to school amongst the lower social economic class, which in those years was 99% brown skinned indiginous people.
They were extremely racist.
I was beat up most days for being white.
Nice picture of a fridge, by the way.
