Addington.net was burgled sometime between midnight and 4 am on Saturday morning, 10 March.
We wonder if anyone was nearby and saw or heard something? We are located in the former St James church building on the corner of Barrington and Bewdley Streets in Spreydon.
Among the items taken was a till - perhaps this has been discarded nearby and someone might have seen it? Other items taken were hard drives from our server - very specific pieces of computer related equipment.
Any information about the burglary, the till or our hard drives would be very appreciated and can be given either to the police or to us here at addington.net. You can contact us on 962 7244 or email us on info@addington.net.nz
Thanks from all of us here at Addington.net
