  Speaker 1: Hello, Katie Wolf and three point sixty online at Mixed
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: one O four nine dot com. You well this morning.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: A little earlier we spoke to Shelley, the owner of
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the celebrations out at Zicoli, which was targeted in a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: terrible breaking entry. And the Northern Territory Police are calling
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: for witnesses following multiple unlawful entries in Palmerston. So at
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: about two o'clock this morning, it is believed that a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Kia was stolen, a twenty twenty Kia Celtos, and it
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: was then used in these unlawful entries at a number
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: of locations. Now the owner of that vehicle joins me
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: on the line right now. Good morning, Laura, Hi Katie, Laura.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry to hear that your car was stolen
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: last night. What happened?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: I got worken off it was about twenty past twelve
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: to my dog's barking and there in the room with me,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: went to investigate what was all about and realized that
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: my doors would been opened. McCarver gone, so call the police.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: They were here within half an hour, which that's one positive,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: thanks guys. But yeah, and then to hear this morning
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: what had been used for was just yeah, pretty crazy.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: It'd be devastating. I would imagine Laura, and it sounds,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: you know from that description, a blue twenty twenty Ka Celtos.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Was it quite a new car.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: I've bought it at the start of the year. It
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: was meant to see my family car. I'm eight and
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: a half months pregnant. Just really bad timing. Honestly, I
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: don't think these guys realize the domino effect that they
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: caused when they could meet crimes like this that you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: it's not just they've stolen a car. This is my livelihood.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: You know, I work half for my money and now
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I'm left with no car at eight and a half
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: months pregnant.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: It's as Laura, I am so sorry to hear that.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Goodness me if it wasn't bad enough, but then you're
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: about to have a baby, and Laura, my own too.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: You know, it's scary when you're in the house both
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: alf I mean, your dogs are great and all that,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: but it's not even a deterrance for them anymore. You know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: it really isn't Laura. Do you pre cheeky?
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean do you live in Palmerston? Was the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: car taking sort of you know, I don't expect you
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to reveal your address, but are you out that way
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: just given the fact then that those businesses targeted were
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: in Palmerston.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in a dress so, believe it or not,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: actually had someone in my yard about six weeks ago,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: so it's not the first time of recent it's just,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: you know, it's unbelievable and the police are not locking
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: people up. It's the reasfenders that are doing this well,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: pretty obvious.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, Laura, I don't know if you
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: listen much to the show, but that's something we've been
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: talking about quite a bit over the last few days,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: particularly as the government's been you know, debating this legislation
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: which is meant to be aimed at these these young
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: people who reoffend and you know, at the moment we
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: don't know exactly who's taken car. But it's so frustrating
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to say the least.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, Yea, it is. Yeah, it's right and ironic for
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: me too. I've meant to have a brand new fence
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: bill and it was meant to be finished yesterday, so
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I just the irony, it's just killing me. Yeah, I
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: can't believe it.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, Laura, Well, look, oh mate, it must be honestly,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: it must be unbelievable and unbelievable feeling for you this
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: morning waking up and realizing what stuff your car was
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: used for last night.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: So it's cursed to believe. Oh poor owners. You know
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: your life, it's livelihood. It's not just one or two people,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: it's effect. It's just realize what's nice anyway? You just
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: just needs to be served to these little holes. I'm
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: just yeah, you heard too much of it.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: You seem to be dealt with, and you sound like
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you're frustrated. Laura, were going to make you our territory
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and of the week. I know that it won't bring
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: back your car, but it does mean you're going to
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: get a beautiful gourmet package from perap Fine Food. Hopefully
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: that is lovely. I know it's so tough for you
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: at the moment, you know, eight and a half months
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: pregnant and for your car to be stolen. It's just unbelievable.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I think I'd better buy a powerable.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Oh oh goodness me. Well, so much love to you,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and and I really hope that you know that you
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: know that you're that you're able to sort your car out.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what even can happen from this point,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: but I really feel for you. And and yeah, I'm
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: so sorry that that's happened to you.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: No, that's sorry. It's sad of everyone else's hands but
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the criminals, and that's the problem. They need to wake
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: up to themselves. Yeah, work, get you, keep yourself busy. Yeah,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: don't impose on others. Yeah, that's not right, Laura.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: We're gonna pop you on hold, and I'll make sure
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that Ronnie might producer gets your details so that you
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: can get that beautiful care package. All the best. And yeah,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: thank you for your time this morning, you too, thank you. Bye.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Now that is Laura. Oh goodness me, second time I've
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: nearly cried this morning. Goodness me, it's pretty heartbreaking. I
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: think that anybody listening would realize that. You know, when
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you hear from Laura there, she's eight and a half
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: months pregnant and her car has been stolen and then
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: it's been used for these break and entries. Like she said,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: it's the domino effect, and I think that that is
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: such an accurate description. You know that the way in
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: which this thene impacts people's lives further than what those
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: taking the car would probably realize. That it has a
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: massive impact on people, and it's not just one person.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: It has a massive impact on families. And then when
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you look at the situation that Shelley and her little
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: family are in out there at celebrations and the I G. A.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: And the fact that you know it's it's her and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: her husband running that business, owner, operators of that business.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: You know, even like she said, you're up all through
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the night. Then the little kids, their children have to
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: do their naplan testing today. It has an impact broader,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I think than what sometimes we realize.
