Hi,

my daughter's car was stolen 10 days ago at Westgate, Auckland. We just returned from the Henderson police station and were told it is still needs to be processed for fingerprints and there is no firm date when it will be returned


Is this normal?

he needs the car to get to work and is just lucky that she is able to borrow one. What happens to people who are less fortunate, do they just tell their employers, "I won't be in for a couple of weeks"

Her car, is an old Nissan Note, while it is insured, there was no alarm in the car. I didn't tell her to get one installed because I never imagined anyone wanting to steal it.

Thanks for any advice

Cheers Don




EDIT: The car was found almost immediately after being reported stolen. So the police have had it for 10 days

Thanks for all the replies.
.
It seems like this has been a case of bureaucratic bungling. The car was actually checked for fingerprints within a couple of days of being found.
.
I can only guess whoever checked the car failed to enter it into the system which is why all the police staff we contacted, in-person and over the phone, during the last 10 days, were adamant the car had not been checked

Of course no-one is taking responsibility for the mistake.

My apologies for not replying individually to the 'post responses but I broke my laptop and I find writing on my phone to be torturous

So thanks for the advice

Cheers Don
