"I see a few posters for lost dogs or cats during my morning runs," says Simon. "But this one on the Orakei Basin walkway caught my eye. I think if I saw a dragon in the half light I would have had heart failure, painted toe nails or not!"
Money vanishes in bank
"On Tuesday afternoon I went into my local bank," writes a reader. "I deposited cash from my flatmate for the rent into one of those fast deposit banking bags and tore the receipt off so I'd have it for my records. Later that night the money's not in the account. Call the next morning to find out that the bag had never been processed. What?! Then went to the branch itself to check. The bag was not in the ATM. So where has my money gone? Rent is due and it's our first week in a new place so I don't want to get offside with our new landlord. Best the bank can do is get the processing centre to call me about it. Surely it will be on camera that I did deposit a bag into the fast deposit drawer, yet they have no paper trail of it!"
