Emirates Western Force management are appealing for information in relation to a stolen laptop computer containing vital analysis software.
The computer was stolen from the vehicle of a member of team management at approximately 8.15pm-8.30pm from the City Beach car park on Wednesday night (21 Jan).
The staff member said the laptop is useless to a regular user.
“The laptop that was stolen is of great use to the Western Force as it is the main laptop used for the analysis of our performance,” said the staff member.
“It has some very rugby specific software loaded on it which would be useless to anybody else who had possession of it but is crucial to us,” he said.
“It contains a lot of historical video footage that would require a lot of man hours to replace.”
The laptop is of very distinct appearance as it is a 3-year-old Pioneer computer with a 17” wide screen and weighs approximately 5kg (with a black plastic base and shiny aluminium lid).
When taken the laptop was contained in a black backpack with wheels (known as a DragBag) and had various other items in with it, such as a ‘Pinnacle’ video capture device.
Anyone with information is urged to contact RugbyWA on (08) 9387-0700. A reward will be offered with the safe return of the equipment.
