Lost and found report:  In 2009  possibly about January, I picked up my coat and departed back to Toronto. Some time later I used my coat and then found it was not mine, in the top part of the coat was written Chris D. Both coats are the same color and same size, both "MOORES". Just in case this person wants his own coat back arrangements can be made for the exchange. Call John at 705-454-8577 for more information.
