The Thrills are offering a reward for the return of a stolen laptop that has new material on it.

The Sony VAIO VGN-T1XP computer and other effects belonging to Daniel Ryan were taken from a friend’s car that had been parked in Mount Drummond Drive, Harold's Cross, Dublin.

“When we went back to the car, the window had been smashed and my bag taken,” the guitarist says. “My laptop, which I’d only brought recently, all my CDs, my DVDs, books, my discman and a photograph album have all been taken.”

Ryan is appealing for anyone who has information on their whereabouts to contact EMI Records at (01) 2039900.

“The computer has new material that we’ve been working on – we always have little bits of music and things like that on our computers and I’m lost without mine.”
