Blizzardboy | A Kiwi in Japan

A small New Zealand Brewery had a laptop stolen earlier this week and in a bold move are offering a life time supply of beer (well 12 bottles a month) for anyone who can name the thief.

Who would do such a dastardly thing? I hope they catch the thief and make him (or her but lets face it, him) drink fosters for the rest of his life. That will serve as a stronger lesson than anything the courts can send down.

Sounds like a great reward - and I hope the Croucher Brewing Company of Rotorua get their laptop back!

Brewery offers lifetime supply of beer for laptop

A New Zealand brewery is reportedly offering a lifetime supply of beer for the return of a stolen laptop.

The laptop was allegedly stolen from the Croucher Brewing Company in 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.

With the rising crime rates in Japan we have been forced to implement a higher security level and as a result have beefed up the security presence around our house. With frogs. It is unfortunate that we have been forced to take such actions, and while we regret having done so, terrorist threats from unidentified foreign parties which may or may not eventuate, must at all costs be met with force completely disparate to said threat. And the frogs are damn cute.

Just saw a strange news story on morning television. It seems that Japanese police have arrested a man in Nagano for stalking a woman by GPS.

The victim found it strange that he would turn up in places that she rarely, or had never, visited before and contacted the police. The police searched her car and found a global positioning device taped to the underside of her car. Using his mobile phone he was able to get updates on her position and stalk her. Each time he checked her position it cost him 200 yen and from what the report said he spent many tens of thousands of yen on checking up on his victim each month.

This isn’t the first case of stalking by GPS globally - boingboing.net reports a case from 2004 in Los Angeles where a Glendale businessman was charged with stalking his ex-girlfriend after doing the exact same thing.

Technology has its place and GPS is extremely useful for things like mountain safety. But one has to wonder when it is used in such a way. And this is certainly taking stalking to a new level of creepiness.

Oh, and don’t ask what boingboing means in Japanese…

If you thought Google was bad enough colluding with the ruling Chinese Communist Party, then think again. Amazon have taken things one step further and are stocking a magazine riddled with lines such as “Oi Nigger!! Get your fuckin’ hands off that Japanese lady’s ass!!”

The Japanese arm of Amazon’s operations is stocking a magazine called “Gaijin Hanzai Ura File” - Foreigners Crime File. This magazine is also being stocked by companies such as 7-11 and Family Mart. Update: (11:18pm) James from Japanprobe writes that Family Mart have pulled the offending magazines. Good one Family Mart!

Other rascist slogans (via debito.org) include:

Back Page:
日本における外人犯罪件数年間47000件!!
47,000 crimes by foreigners each year!!
There then follows a ‘danger rating’ (危険度) of each country, scattered on a world map surrounded by knives, guns and syringes:
China: 14
Russia: 5
Korea: 9
Brazil: 8
Colombia: 3
Etc.
None for the USA, Canada, Australia or the whole of Europe…

Article about crimes by Iranians:
イラン人を捕まえ！！

Article lamenting Tokyo’s demise into lawlessness:

Sad to think that this kind of thing happens in this day and age. And even sadder to see a corporation like Amazon condoning such behaviour.
