Aero Leather Clothing trial update

[breezer]

the so called 'grand theft' sale is just around the corner - allegedly.

 

[ProteinNerd]

Maybe that's what they are going to sell in the new teased store lol

I've noticed there's been very little activity on the Sale page. I was wondering if the big sale was coming.

 

[Otter]

Pending any kind of appeal perhaps ?

I think that's down to the time of year, more than anything.

Wee update. Today, an attempt at an appeal by Will was rejected at Edinburgh High Court. I wasn't there, but the grounds for the appeal were said to be that the sheriff at the original trial had not explained what 'theft' meant to the jury in his summing up.
He will not have any recourse to appeal this decision, but as a non-violent criminal, Will will not be returned to prison and will serve out of the rest of his sentence with a leg tag. On a brighter side, it means that the sale of booty will appear some time soon(ish).

Pardon my ignorance but I assume you mean that the stolen Aero merch will be returned to them and posted on their sale page?

Is a leather blazer appropriate with the leg tag?

 

[Otter]

Some sort of striped ensemble, or perhaps a fetching orange jumpsuit ?

Not sure how it'll be done. There's such a huge amount of stuff, I'm not sure it'll be done via the standard sale page. There had been plans for a Grand Theft Aero Sale last summer, but don't know how it'll be done - they've still got the logistical nightmare of getting the stuff back from the court!

Craig, thanks for the updated information. It might prove interesting to see who his next employer is.

I"m thinking he might join forces with the guys from Lawless Denim. Match made in heaven...

 

[Smithy]

I'd sworn off buying anymore high end new jackets this year but I have a feeling such a sale might just be too tempting.

I wonder if it'll be a case of "storse anyone?"

 

[Fanch]

I'm certain someone at Aero will carefully assess and label accordingly. At least Aero will be provided some measure of reimbursement for the stolen jackets.

Initially I was really against "taking advantage" and trying to get a cheap jacket out of Aeros misfortune but I guess the situation is what it is and if Aero can get some compensation out of it, it's better for them.

It will be interesting to see what was "collected" and what the prices will be.

Anyone know what size WL was lol?

Right at this moment there is a lot to figure out, firstly liasing with police / courts on having the recovered goods signed over to us, then the rather massive job of cataloging and taking stock of what is actually there.
The how and the when of a 'sale' is yet to be figured out but it is going to be much more than just a 'sale' it is going to be a special event where we can also introduce some very exciting new things for Aero. It truly is going to be a case of onwards and upwards.
It has been a very long and uncomfortable period for us approaching 4 years, but we are extremely happy that finally we seem to have come to the end of it all and we can just put the whole sorry affair behind us and move on.
2016 is going to be a very exciting year for Aero........ Watch this space!

I think it would be a fair thing to say that no one here takes any pleasure from the terrible misfortune that was this whole sorry chapter.
Nor would anyone really want to profit at Aero's expense.
If however there are quality jackets that need to be moved on to recoup some expenses, I dare say that there is a very willing audience here.
When the time comes, I trust that Aero will communicate the process clearly & fairly; we'll all just have to be a little more patient (not one of my personal strong points...)
I just hope the opportunity is open to their global audience, rather than a physical store near the factory.

Shame is, I know most of those.... "gentlemen"/"businessmen" by sight and name. Quite the rogues gallery of thieving, pompous cretins. I'm not one for Capital Punishment per se... but these guys have ruined and bilked hundreds of thousands if not millions of folks between em. Now I'm really mad.

Worf

He "Madoff" with your jacket ! Seriously, he deserved all he got sentenced to, and more.
