A German writer on a cultural exchange in Wellington has lost chapters from her new novel after thieves stole her laptop from her inner-city cottage.
Maike Wetzel is the Goethe-Institut inaugural writer-in-residence at the Wellington City Council’s Sexton’s Cottage in Thorndon. She arrived home with her 3-year-old son early on Saturday night to find the historic Bolton St cottage’s front door bolted from the inside and one of its windows smashed.
