TAKING A BYTE OUT OF CRIME
A small New Zealand brewer wants his stolen laptop back in a big way. In exchange for the computer's return, Croucher Brewing Co. co-owner Paul Croucher is offering a lifetime supply of free beer.
The laptop contains financial records and label designs for new beers along with business contacts. It is essential for the small business in its "critical stage," Croucher said.
But what exactly is the offer on the table?
Bring back the computer and get "a dozen bottles of beer a month for the rest of their life." The total value of the reward is estimated to be around $19,500.
The microbrewery ships 160 gallons of its three beers ... an English-style pale ale, Czech-style pilsner and a cloudy German wheat beer ... each week.
While there have been many people who have called to say they are looking for the computer since the offer was made, it sounds like cheesy deal.
Maybe brewery owners need to have their beer heads examined.
Then again, because beer makes people do this ...
maybe not.

What a BONEHEAD! Apparently the co-owner of the company was dipping into his own product when his laptop was stolen. He must have been loaded to lose his precious laptop.
Even dumber is leaving all this information on proprietary info on a laptop to begin with.

12 bottles a month is a lifetime supply?? Not worth looking for the laptop for that pittance
