Ben Moon gave us the following statement:

"Dear climbing community please keep your eyes and ears open, on Saturday the MOON warehouse in Sheffield was robbed of 3500 articles. This is a massive blow to us since it's not just our spring collection that's gone but a lot of hard work with it which makes us both sad and angry. We hope by making this public appeal the community can help us track down the criminals and recover the stolen goods. We think this was a well organized operation. If you passed by the area and noticed any thing or if you notice any thing on the internet please contact Moon Climbing or the Police."

Thats a real shame, when I had to return some trousers for another size they were very helpful and their customer service was excellent... hope you guys get back on your feet asap.

From the sounds of it any Moon clothing or bags are potentially stolen goods. That's a LOT of gear to take - more than just a few eBay pieces - must be a pro-job surely?

Ben - as this is your new range maybe post some details of what's new so if people spot it on Fleabay it will be obvious it's the stolen stuff

Very sad news! I would imagine/hope in a climbing community so close, offloading a shed load of climbing clothes and equipment would soon turn up the theives or the gear! Ebay? Gumtree? Markets? Car Boots? Having said that, back in the late 90's and early 2000's, it did become trendy for the less socially atute to wear gortex jackets. And I doubt they paid £250 plus for them!

Bad news, though I would imagine it will be hard to shift that much stuff without being noticed, particularly a relatively niche produce. Hope it turns up and they get banged to rights!
