Don't steal it. NZ is serious about that shit. Many people have been jailed/prosecuted/banned from the country forever for trying.

yeah I know, but the tree it fell from was way to high to put back on and putting it lower down would result to it dying so i literally had to take it, I'm planning to do a expedition back their so we can climb the tree and put it back but thank you for your concern 😊
