One of
the stolen works
Jimmy James Kouratoras, 45,
has been painting since the 80s with over twenty years as a
film scenic and has had a number of profession exhibitions since
2013.
In the early hours of Thursday morning two thieves
stole three of Kouratoras' latest paintings by walking
straight onto his gated property in Onehunga and towing his
van.
Mitsubishi
delica DJF963 navy blue with roof
racks.
This was targeted theft (especially
as there were far more valuable vehicles in the yard) and
Kouratoras has received anonymous tip offs that his
paintings have been the target.
These three paintings
were to go into a 2017 catalogue and are worth $30,000 -
prospective buyers are not happy.

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal.
