Alright, so there’s this Hamilton book store owner, Niccola Carter, who is absolutely fed up with this serial book vandal causing chaos in her store. Apparently, this mystery man has been on a mission to destroy the biographies of some pretty big-shot New Zealand women. Talk about a real low blow, right?
The whole saga kicked off about six weeks ago when this dude first strolled into Pennys’ Bookstore at the Chartwell Shopping Centre. Carter and her crew noticed him lurking around the sports section, picking up books only to put them back down again. Real suspicious behavior, if you ask me. Next thing you know, they find copies of biographies about rugby stars Ruby Tui and Honey Hireme-Smiler all torn up and tossed back on the shelves. Not cool, man.
Fast forward to another visit, and Jenny May-Clarkson’s book suffers the same fate. It’s like this guy has a personal vendetta against these women and their stories. Carter is baffled by the whole situation and can’t wrap her head around why someone would do this. She’s all like, “Why these women? What’s the deal?” And honestly, same here, lady.
The store owner hasn’t gotten the cops involved yet because she’s not really sure if they can do anything about it. But she’s made it clear that this vandal dude is not welcome back in her store. She’s ready to kick him to the curb if he dares to show his face again. And honestly, can you blame her? This whole situation is just plain disrespectful and uncalled for.
Overall, it’s a real head-scratcher as to why this guy is targeting these specific books and women. Maybe he’s got some deep-seated issues or maybe he’s just a total jerk. Who knows? But one thing’s for sure, Carter and her team are not about to let this slide. They’re standing their ground and saying, “Not on our watch, buddy.” Let’s hope this mystery man gets the memo and stops wreaking havoc on these incredible women’s stories.
