Coromandel Community nabs car thief
This is such a great story from the NZ Herald: A small town in the Coromandel swung into action when a car thief drove off with a 4 year old in the car:

"When the alarm was raised on Saturday afternoon that the 4-year-old had been taken and her elder sister injured while jumping from the moving car, members of the more than 1200-strong community immediately stepped in to help. Some joined the chase, while others set up a phone network to organise road blocks. The man was caught 45 minutes later when the girls' uncle ran him off the road and restrained him until police arrived."

Go Kiwi Community!
