One of Britain's leading criminologists has warned the recent spate of Canada Goose coat muggings could be the start of a new 'luxury crime trend' and has warned all those who own the expensive jackets to be cautious.
The coats - which can be sold for as much as £1,700 - have been targeted by muggers across the country resulting in cars being broken into, pedestrians robbed, neighbours stealing from neighbours and even knife attacks.
On Sunday, shocking footage emerged showing two hooded thugs trying to steal one of the coveted coats in broad daylight at a Kent train station.

I live in a cold climate.
I would not mind one.
I need to keep my eye out at the used store.

They’re great jackets. I own one that is not readily identifiable as Canada Goose. (Several models don’t have visible patches.)
And I’m also a big guy who carries concealed.
And don’t live in a big city.

Over $200 for a stocking cap. A stocking cap.

Dear UK: We told y’all not to let them in.
Y’all were warned, but you did it anyway.
Bless your hearts.

That’s pretty cruel to steal a coat from a Canadian goose.

I love my $100 Carhartt jacket. It’s not the warmest one you can buy but with a hoodie, hat & gloves, I can walk my yellow lab in freezing temps, no problem. Best jacket I’ve ever owned.
