Michaels: some excerpts from Yahoo finance:

The Company also operated 142 Aaron Brothers stores, as of March 22, 2002, primarily on the West Coast, averaging 5,900 square feet of selling space . . . In addition, the Company owns and operates Star Wholesale, a single-store wholesale operation located in Dallas, Texas, offering merchandise primarily to interior decorators/designers, wedding/event planners, florists, hotels, restaurants and commercial display companies.

Aaron? Star? Hm. I am wayyyyy speculating here.

Go to the Aaron Brothers website. On the left you will find a lin for Isuzu Trucks. Same name first floated for the white truck.

Also, there was a lawsuit filed against Michael's in CA. Financial settlement was reached in February of this year. I couldn't find any other information on the suit.

Also, a poster from another thread (same thread where I posted the info about the suit and Aaron Brothers and the truck), said they were from Texas and were at a grand opening of a Michael's and noticed a bullet hole in the window. When they asked about it, they were told that one of their competitors didn't like them.
