Lost laptop reward: Beer for life


WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- A New Zealand brewer is offering a lifetime supply of free beer in exchange for the return of a laptop stolen in a break-in.

Croucher Brewing Co. co-owner Paul Croucher said Friday the computer contains "all our financials" as well as label designs for new beers and business contacts.

"So we decided that if anyone does come into possession of it we'll be happy to offer them a reward -- a dozen (bottles) of beer a month for the rest of their life," he said.

Croucher estimated the total value would likely be about $19,500 for a lifetime of beer. Since making the offer, "plenty of people" had called to say they were looking for the computer, he said.

1. 12 beers a month? But what about the other 30 days?

2. That does sound pretty cheesy, doesn't it. But if someone's down and

out, they might relish that amount. Or maybe the beer's so good, one a day will do ya. But that still leaves the rest of the month. :crazy:

3. Cheap fucking baaastids. Unless those bottes are two litres... nt
