NZ brewery offers beer for laptop
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.
What could be better?

Free sex for life?
Free sex for life?
Who pays for sex?
More importantly, who has to?
Though I suppose we all pay for it, one way or another. :p

Something that I might actually be able to use? I can't drink alcohol.

I should just submit random names, on the off chance that one of them turns out to be right.
Meh... Now if they were offering free coffee for life; I'd fly to NZ to track down that laptop personally. ;)
free food, shelter and transportation. i can't imagine anything more useless or nongratifying then beer.
free broadband internet connection.
free tools and materials to be creative with.
free place to build indiginous shelter and live in it without anyone every going to tell you to move on or tear it down.
free everything in exchange for freely creating beauty and giving it away.
free pure air and water
free gardens and meditation retreats
free unlimited engineering and tecnology reference materials
free and unlimited access to entire sentient knowledge base throught the entire known universe
any single one of these would be to me

(Free beer is great - but 12 bottles don't really last a month. Not even a weekend...)
free laptops for life would be cool

I was thinking something similar:
12 beers a month. Great. What am I gonna do for the other 29 days?

If I would receive 12 bottles of Westvleteren each month, then I would hunt that notebook.
Westvleeteren is considered as the best beer in the world.
And it's Belgian, what else? :)

12 bottles is quite useless. However, if one were to steal a laptop every day, one could presumably rack up quite a lot of beer...

And what if the beer tastes as Heineken?
** Zum kotzen **
The company should send me 12 times 12 bottles just to test scientificly the value of the beer…

Never had that :( It's a bit unattainable since some people decided it's the best beer in the world.
