Rodney Local Board candidate Tessa Berger's surprise: Admirers steal hot property

A 21-year-old local government contender has offered to reserve her hoarding signs for admirers, to stop them being stolen as "souvenirs".

Tessa Berger, a candidate for the Rodney Local Board in north Auckland, was surprised to find her election sign, which stands among a group of other council and local board hopefuls in Matakana, was the only one that had been taken.
