Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
After having some post stolen I’m putting up a 4g security camera later on when it cools down. Last year, someone knicked our neighbours’ post box. It had to be 4g as the mailboxes are about 400m from the house.
Something I never understood since it never happened where I lived, why would anyone steal post box? 🤔
Where do you put the camera so it doesn’t get smashed or something?
High in a tree opposite. It also has a natty little camouflage cover.
Is it one of those trail cams?
That’s cool. I’d also wonder if it not being visible makes it less effective (you don’t really want to catch someone stealing your post, you want them to not steal your post to start with). I’m wondering if a duel approach would help. Hidden real camera up in the tree, cheap fake plastic camera on a pole or something where it’s visible but not close enough that people can tell it’s fake.
Though I’m no expert, I live in a quiet street where packages can stay on the doorstep in view from the street all day and I’ve never had an issue
Also what I was thinking. There’s an honesty box setup from when they used to sell avocados, and there was a fake camera there so I was going to put it back for this exact reason.
Ah good plan!
I’d love to print out a massive poster of the thief in action, something like an election hoarding in size.
Now there’s a deterrent.
