The owner of the food caravan that was stolen from a Massey carpark and then found again by a member of the public estimates the cost from thefts and damage is around $2500.
Chanidsara 'Eve' Supra-At Taku, 30, and Gritsaru 'Ize' Janshinorat, 29, had started up the food truck business selling chicken and pork buns and dumplings five months ago, and said they invested about $25,000 into the caravan and equipment.
The caravan was stolen from a carpark on Sunday morning, but a member of the public spotted it parked on West Coast Rd with a tarpaulin over it, and connected it to a Facebook post he'd seen about the stolen vehicle.
The caravan was returned to the young Thai couple on Tuesday, but some items have been stolen, including the power generator.
