Summary: Priest’s Car Stolen (Press, 28 December 1982)
On Christmas Day, 1982, in Auckland, the Rev. Felix Donnelly experienced the unfortunate theft of his car, which was filled with presents. The incident occurred when he briefly left his unlocked vehicle to deliver a gift. Upon his return, both the car and 24 presents intended for his relatives were missing. Despite the distressing situation, Father Donnelly, known for his writings and occasional appearances on talk-back radio, expressed that the theft had not shaken his faith in human nature. He hoped instead that the individual who stole the car was in genuine need of the items inside. Father Donnelly has been noted for his controversial views on sexual and social attitudes, which have led to conflicts with senior members of the Catholic Church throughout his career. The whereabouts of the stolen vehicle remain unknown.
