A New Zealand brewery is reportedly offering a lifetime supply of beer
for the return of a stolen laptop.

Local media said the laptop was stolen from the Croucher Brewing
Company in the central North Island city of Rotorua earlier this week.

Owners were desperate to retrieve the computer containing designs,
contact details and financial information, the Rotorua Daily Post
said.

They have offered free beer to anyone giving clues leading to its recovery.

Co-owner Paul Croucher said the company would provide a lifetime
supply of about 12 bottles a month to anyone who could name the thief.

The company has back-up copies of the material stored on the laptop
but these are not up to date, the newspaper said

Not a lot of beer, but free beer is free beer. If I was that thief, I
would be scared, having most of NZ on my @$$ like that (and Gadi ;-)
