Police are investigating after all the keys from a Hamilton car auction house were reportedly stolen over the weekend.
A worker from Waikato Auto Locksmiths told The New Zealand Herald he was replacing the keys on all the vehicles at Turners on Te Rapa Rd following the burglary.
The man said he had never seen something like this happen with this many vehicles, and the job would take him and a colleague two weeks to finish.
He said it would cost between $500 and $2000 per vehicle to replace the keys.
Stuff reported a Turners worker confirmed the keys from all of the vehicles had been stolen from the yard, which held more than 100 cars.
A police spokesperson told the Herald they received a report the location had been burgled overnight at 10am on Saturday, and they were investigating.
Turners have been approached for comment.
