featheredfriends Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Feathered Friends was indeed robbed early on the morning of March 9th. We are working with the Seattle Police Department to collect video feeds and eye witness reports from members of the local business and residential communities. The items taken included Frontpoint Jackets, Icefall Parkas and Rock & Ice Parkas. We would appreciate any information that may help to recover the stolen goods and/or lead to prosecution of the perpetrators. As always, thanks for your continued support. We look forward to seeing you here in the shop AND out in the hills. -FF Quote
Blake Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Other than turning around and trying to sell all these garments (which seems like a sure-fire way to get caught), would there be any other value or reason that they took them? It seems stupid to rob FF gear from the one and only place where it is made and sold, with the plan being to re-sell it elsewhere for profit. Perhaps this stupidity goes hand-in-hand with theft? You might consider posting something on various climbing, backpacking, skiing, hiking forums. If there is an attempt made to turn around and sell this stuff, perhaps one of the forums users will notice it and contact you guys. Quote

Off_White Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 Generally speaking, "criminal mastermind" is an oxymoron. I hope you folks have success retrieving your wares, you're a good shop. Quote
builder206 Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 re-sell it elsewhere for profit If it's stolen, what does "selling it for profit" mean? Quote
artschool Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I'm sure someone at FF has already seen this, but in case they haven't.... http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/spo/608969566.html Quote
Hendershot Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I actually know this seller. He has been trying to sell it since Feb. Quote
artschool Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Yeah, that ad didn't look that sketchy. Plus, after I posted I realized that the jacket obviously doesn't look like a Frontpoint, Icefall, or Rock and Ice. Quote
amber10_79 Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Yikes! That's awful! I'm sorry to hear the store got robbed =( Definatly keep an eye out on ebay and craigs list. Quote
