The theft last week of a Rotorua brewing company's computer has had world-wide coverage - but the laptop is still missing.
Croucher Brewing offered 12 bottles of beer a month for the return of its laptop computer.
Co-owner Paul Croucher said although they had not yet got their computer back the reaction had been positive. "We're a bit blown away. It's surpassed our expectations," Mr Croucher said.
As well as media attention, they had also been approached by two separate men in the United States and the Netherlands offering to build them a new computer in return for the beer.
