Carrigaline Computer Shop Appeals for Help After Sign Goes Missing

A Carrigaline computer sales and repair shop is appealing to the community for help after half of their business sign disappeared overnight, with the owners suspecting it may have been an impromptu souvenir for someone heading home from the pub.

CC Computers discovered one side of their "CC Computers" sign had been taken from their car park sometime during the night of 17 September, prompting a lighthearted but genuine appeal for its return.

The computer repair specialists, who operate from their Carrigaline location, took to social media this morning to ask locals to keep an eye out for their missing signage. While maintaining good humour about the situation, the business noted the theft will result in replacement costs.

CC Computers:

"Someone took one side of our 'CC Computers' sign from the car park in Carrigaline last night, maybe someone on the way home from the pub! Not a huge deal, these things happen. But it'll cost us money to replace, but if anyone sees it thrown around, could you give us a bell or pop into the shop?"

The incident highlights how local businesses often become unintended targets for opportunistic theft, particularly signage which can be relatively easy to remove. For small businesses like CC Computers, replacing even seemingly minor items like signs represents an unexpected expense.

The shop's relaxed response to the theft reflects the close-knit nature of the Carrigaline community, where businesses often rely on local goodwill and word-of-mouth support. Their appeal demonstrates confidence that community members will help recover the missing sign or at least report any sightings.

Local residents who spot the missing CC Computers sign are encouraged to contact the business directly at their Carrigaline shop or through their social media channels.

The computer repair shop continues normal operations while seeking to resolve the missing sign situation through community assistance.
