What a Goonie.

A thief with no regard for superstition stole coins from the wishing well at Otorohanga Kiwi House this week.



And those Kiwis are pissed..

Ooh a TTD thread.

The "magnet on a stick" theory would have been brilliant if any NZ coins were actually made of ferrous metals.

I type WAY too slow.

I pretended to be my friends mentally disabled brother and got in a fountain to get enough change for the bus.

"A thief with no regard for superstition..."

In other words, a sane person.

The money was gifted by visitors to the Kiwi House, but Mr Fox had no idea how much was in the well prior to the burglary.

Here's a thought... If people are donating money to you, how about cleaning out the well yourself every now and then so that you can actually spend it on something useful instead of waiting for the inevitable...

He said the wishing well got raided about once per year.

Raiding wishes? Now that's change you can believe in.

Stef: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, stop, stop! You can't do this.
Data: Why?
Mikey: Why?
Stef: Because these are somebody else's wishes. They're somebody else's dreams.
Mouth: Yeah, but you know what? This one, this one right here. This was my dream, my wish. And it didn't come true. So I'm taking it back. I'm taking them all back.

Sounds to me like someone at the Otorohanga Kiwi House is already doing that.
