I came across this on another board,I know we have a couple of Leeds fans come here so could you copy & paste it to any local boards.
New Model Army Laptop Stolen - Please Pass On
From Joolz Denby: Below is the local Press release - but if anyone in the Leeds/Bradford etc area hears anything, or locates the machine, just get it & I'll pay you back (because no doubt the thief/thieves are flogging it for drugs or whatever) + a reward when I pick it up.
NEW MODEL ARMY - LAPTOP WITH ALL NMA'S MUSIC SAMPLES & PROMO VIDEO FOOTAGE STOLEN!
On Monday 23rd July a black MITAC 8258D 15" laptop was stolen from the home of New Model Army keyboard genius and computer wizard Dean White, in the Hyde Park area of Leeds. This computer contains all the music samples used by the legendary underground cult band onstage and also, footage shot by White intended for their forthcoming fly-on-the-wall making-of-the-new-album 'High' documentary. The laptop is noticeable for having the firewire port on the front of the machine as it's customised to use onstage.
NMA start a major 70 gig world tour in Brazil on August 7th, moving into the USA & eventually, Europe. In our area, they play Leeds Met on Saturday 17th November. Therefore - WE NEED THIS LAPTOP BACK!!!! A reward will be given for its safe return. To whoever took it: don't freak, just return the machine anonymously, we are only interested in getting it back safely as soon as possible - contact us via
joolz@joolz.net, if that's easiest for you.
MEDIA FOLK: PLEASE HELP. If you can run this as a piece, OR KNOW SOMEONE ELSE WHO WILL, please run it or forward it along - this little machine is of no real value to anyone but us - BUT WE REALLY NEED IT!
Many thanks
Joolz (on behalf of NMA)
