"Audacious thieves" is how police are describing those who have stolen an Auckland couple's treasured bonsai collection from their Mt Albert home in two separate incidents. Police are appealing to public for help to find the miniature trees. Theft of bonsai specimens is becoming more common according to Auckland Bonsai Society President Matt Hutson.
