Thieves Steal Basketball Uniforms
Friday 22nd of December 2006 06:22:52 PM
The Lincoln Way Junior Knights Special Olympics basketball team had some of their basketball uniforms stolen from a car in Dolton on the afternoon of Sunday. A complete set of home and away uniforms was donated to the team of under 12 boys and girls, free from the sportswear manufacturer Riddell who are based in Chicago. Many local people called Keith Wallace, the superintendent of the Lincoln Way Special Recreational Association with many generous offers of help. Wallace was dreading having to tell his team that their sports uniforms had gone missing. A spokeswoman for Riddell said, "We're delighted we can help these kids by getting them these uniforms." Now the team will be ready for their next match in January.
Over 3,700 identification badges and pieces of uniforms have been reported lost or stolen from Transportation Security Administration employees since 2003. These employees are based at airports including the Los Angeles International Airport, O'Hare International Airport and Bush International Airport. Security experts are worried that the badges and uniforms could fall into the wrong hands and pose a security threat, particularly in the fight against terrorism. It could be very easy for someone to get hold of some of these missing badges and uniforms, and pose as a member of staff. More care needs to be taken with such items of clothing particularly with the current dangers from terrorists.
U.S. representative Lamar Smith, of R-San Antonio, said that he would propose a legislation to fine the TSA employees who lose their badges or uniforms. Some seem to think that the system is not flawed and that they "We have many different security levels in place to thwart any kind of attempt to breech our security," said Earl Morris, the field operations manager for TSA.

the chance to review the image is great for checking everything over one last time before printing. the time between reviewing the print and delivery was another positive, taking only a couple of days. my friends were really pleased with the finished items. unfortunately i was out when the courier called. he didn't note the date or time of his attempted delivery on his card and he hadn't filled in when or if he would attempt delivery again. on repeatedly phoning the company on a friday between 4:50 and 6 i got no answer. i then tried again on the monday morning, but once again i got no answer. after phoning clothes2order they resolved everything. i realise this is outwith the control of clothes2order, but it soured an otherwise excellent service.
Delighted with the results. Very popular so repeat orders very likely.
great service, no problems at all
