Money for nothing and beer for free

by David Holtzman

I didn't do it, but if I did I'd be admitting it. Paul Croucher, the owner of the Croucher Brewing company in New Zealand came up with an unusual way of getting his stolen laptop back--free beer for life. Apparently a vandal broke a lock, got into the office and nabbed the computer which had some of the company's financial information on it.

I realize that this story has absolutely nothing to do with privacy and is only marginally connected to technology, but is kind of interesting.
