: : : I called Peter this morning to check on my jacket--just to see how things were coming. It's been about 3 weeks and they haven't gotten to it it yet. He said there were about 10 jackets in front of mine and about 40 behind.
: : : Peter sounded pretty distressed--he told me they had $30,000 worth of merchandise stolen! He said none of the Raiders jackets were taken and insurance would pay for the stolen goods. But he was bummed because all the work he and his staff had done is lost. So if your planning on ordering or waiting for your jacket to arrive--there will be some delays.

: : In his email to me, he said on top of everything else they had a "ram raid" on the store. I'm not familiar with that term. Makes since now. Appreciate the info. Regards. Michaelson

: It's when a group, usually of youths, steal a car and basically drive it through the front window of a shop and then grab what they can in the couple of minutes that they have before the police really take notice.

Thanks Tim. I'm aware of that type of robbery, as Shorty points out below it's becoming pretty common here in the US too, but I had never heard that term before. I hate this kind of news, no matter who is at the receiving end. It seems the harder you work to make good, the more others want to take it from you. Sad commentary. Thanks again, Tim. Regards. Michaelson
