Ariadna Maskiver

Argentinian tourist Ariadna Maskiver wants to go home.

The backpacker has been living in Napier for five months on a working holiday but had her trip soured when she had more than $3000 worth of items stolen from her car.

The 30-year-old lost her camera, passport, driver's licence and credit cards in the theft on Bluff Hill last week. The thief used her credit card in five transactions at a local supermarket, racking up a $400 bill.

Without her passport and licence, she is stranded in the region for the time being.

"I'm just very sad and frustrated. I don't really care about the camera ... it is the documents I want back."

Ms Maskiver was planning to go to Australia on October 21 and said she would have to sell her car to get to the embassy in Wellington to replace her passport.

"Now I just have to stay and keep working."
