Help yourself and help Pimoroni in Birthday sale

Dubbed a ‘Plundered’ sale, you can read more about the offers here. But sadly, there’s a dark side to this pirate-themed birthday promotion. They explain:

“The not-so-fun reason is, after 11 years of mostly smooth sailing and navigating the stormy waters of leaving the EU, disease, currency fluctuations, an energy crisis and the world generally being on fire, we had the bad luck to run into some real piracy as thieves took a bunch of stuff from Pirate Towers.”

Basically, its Sheffield warehouse has suffered a break-in, with the theives taking “a good haul of stuff”. They write:

“Why share this? If there’s one thing we expect our customers, makers, crew and other malcontents to be good at, it’s spotting something out of place.”

“If you run into a good bulk deal on our heatsink cases, or the primo official Raspberry Pi gear like cameras and power supplies as you rummage through car boot sales or the less, erm, formal online marketplaces in the UK, you can give us a word to the wise on plunder@pimoroni.com.”

We wish both a swift trading recovery, and Many Happy Returns, to the retailer. Hopefully, Gadget Master readers may be able to help.
