According to the police, a small house that was taken from a property in Christchurch has been recovered thanks to the help of the public. The house, located on Sandwich Road in Beckenham, was stolen last Monday. Its owner, Kat Calvert, shared that six meters of fence had been removed before the house was towed away. In an effort to find her stolen property, Calvert turned to social media for assistance.
In a heartfelt post on Facebook, Calvert expressed how much the tiny home meant to her. She explained that it was her mother's home for many years before she had to be placed in dementia care. The house was filled with special items, including her mother's artwork and other Finnish possessions that held sentimental value. It was more than just a house, it was a home.
Calvert suspected that the house was taken and driven towards the river. She believed it was being towed by a dark or black 4WD, with a grey van following behind. She also shared a possible sighting of the tiny home in the Opawa area, where individuals were seen pumping up the tires. One female and two males were spotted on Wilson's Road, but they were not forthcoming with information when approached.
Fortunately, the efforts of the public paid off. The police received multiple tips and were able to locate the tiny home. They also arrested a 40-year-old man who has been charged with burglary. He appeared in court on Monday and is facing additional charges for entering two other properties with intent and receiving a possibly stolen car.
Upon hearing the news, Calvert updated her Facebook post to thank everyone for their help. She expressed her gratitude and faith in the kindness and compassion of people. However, she also shared that they were unsure if they had gotten her mother's home back, as it appeared to have been destroyed. Despite this, she was thankful for the support and assistance from the public.
