A Belgian tourist says she "can't trust anyone in New Zealand" after a Wanganui man stole clothes and sentimental items while she and her father travelled the country.
"I feel like going home," the woman said in a victim impact statement read out in Whanganui District Court.
"I feel like I can't trust anyone in New Zealand any more," the woman wrote. "I know that's wrong, but I'm saddened by what happened."
James Hosie smashed the window of the tourists' vehicle around November 4 and helped himself to clothing and an "extremely old set of Dutch playing cards" belonging to the 27-year-old woman and her father.
She estimated the value of what was stolen to be up to 600 ($890).
