Confiscated Designer Goods Given to the Homeless
Confiscated Designer Goods Given to the HomelessAuthor: jane baronWhere, oh where did that confiscated pair of fake Chanel shoes end up? Hopefully in the hands of somebody who really needed it! All around the world trading standard officers regularly raid warehouses and find thousands of fake designer garments. Like it or not, manufacturing and selling fake designer goods is illegal. Upon finding these illegal warehouses, police confiscate the merchandise. But what to do with fifty fake Louis Vuitton jackets? Give them to the homeless! At least, that is the solution that several trading standard officers have settled on.In East London, for example, thousands of fake designer jackets, tops and pants have been confiscated in the last 12 months. These items have now been given to the Whitechapel Mission (with their fake labels removed, of course). The Whitechapel Mission is a local organization that serves breakfast each day to approximately 150 homeless people. It also provides facilities such as showers, toilets and medical attention to people who stop by. Now Whitechapel has stylish clothes to offer its visitors as well!A similar course of action was decided upon by the government in South Korea. Originally the 3,500 garments confiscated by South Korean customs were going to be destroyed. But after checking with the designers, the government changed its plans and instead distributed the garments to the South Korean homeless through charity organizations. The United States government also decided to do something useful with its confiscated designer goods after Hurricane Katrina. People affected by the disaster were allowed to choose items they wanted from a huge collection of counterfeit designer items confiscated by federal customs officials.

Secured Loans : the Safest Way to Grab FinancesSecured Loans : the Safest Way to Grab FinancesAuthor: amenda dorothy A secured loan is a loan, where the borrower agrees to provide the lender some kind of security. In the case of secured loans in the UK, normally the security will be the property of the loan applicant. In other words, loans for which you have given the lender a lien on property like an auto, boat or other personal property or real estate would serve as a security for the loan.The secured loans provide benefits to both the lenders and borrowers. The lenders feel less risky while granting such loans because they have security with them. |
