I thought Deco's Florida location was closed down years ago.

Yes, hence the "at one time"
I wonder what the reason was that it closed down. And then there's that guy that was arrested for cocaine possession with the same address as the DECO office in Florida. I wonder if there's a connection there.

So much of this will come down to what was said behind closed doors in the days after May 16th. It was reported that Rob blurted out something about "our contacts" saying the video was in 1701 or 1703 of 320 Dixon. I imagine that it was around this time that decisions were made to commit crimes in order to recover the video. However, I still think that they were looking for the video as far back as February because why else would Price meet with Ford on the 22nd and then start his completely BS job shortly thereafter? If that is the case, presumably they were using quiet, non-violent methods to find the video and then panicked and got sloppy after the story broke. Still, they KNEW the story was about to break because they'd been tipped off by the CNN producer. So it seems odd that they would only start panicking after May 16th. Anyway, I think the charges will stem largely from what happened in those meetings - and if sources have spoken with the Star about that, I suspect that they have also spoken with the police.
On a related subject, another aspect about this case that has never sat right with me is the suggestion that Mark Towhey was fired for telling Ford to go to rehab. He might have done so, but Kavoulis was also reported to have said he wouldn't work with Ford again unless he cleaned up and he appears to be back on the team now, so this doesn't seem like an offence that gets people fired by Ford. Based on what I read at the time and since, it seems pretty clear that Towhey hated Price. And Towhey was the only person from the mayor's office to contact the police, which I strongly suspect that is the actual reason he was fired. Team Ford probably figured that they could ride out this storm if the police weren't involved, but Towhey screwed that up for them.
At least, that's my theory.

Cocaine possession from a Florida Deco address? News to me...is there a link you can provide or is that just in the rumour mill?
And @above - Towhey is a neocon dipshit, but he was also in the military. This must've clashed with Price and his street smarts (why he was hired). The whole video retrieval operation must've been botched from the get-go, and perhaps Towhey knew to get out before criminal charges came down on him too. And I want the Star or whomever to interview that internal Ford staff Twitter tweeter who was outed by them. That guy must know something.
And whoever posted that "Los Deco Hermanos" line....Bravo! That's hilarious.

How does anyone interview Doug Ford without rolling their eyes while doing an air jerk?

Indeed. Good stuff, animatronic! Though I'd change it slightly to "Los Decos Hermanos" (if going with "los", you have to pluralise!).
Hermanos of course means brothers or siblings, so someone with some photoshop skills should replace the back-to-back chickens from the Los Pollos Hermanos logo with Rob and Doug (too bad about Randy and Kathy).

So, wasn't he supposed to be back in town today? I imagine the media has a *lot* of questions for him. Is he hiding?

Huh, interesting. Google of that address does give me the result of a Deco (former, supposedly) location. But Streetview tells me this area is anything but a business area. It's all shady looking bungalows, trailers, and cheap apartments. I can't see a business on the entire block. What's funny is that entire block looks to have lower end vehicles, except for the Mercedes exactly where the Streetview marker lands.

Hey - I barely speak English as it is... I'm calling dibs if that becomes the movie title. Could also go with "Los Etiquetas Hermanos" but that's a bit too obscure.

Exactly. Back in August, someone suggested that it could be some kind of regional field office. Can't imagine why Deco would need it though.

It was almost certainly an address of convenience with no real operations. They probably had a sales rep who needed a local mailbox, Deco needed to be in-state to bid on a government contract or something similar. The cocaine charge is just a coincidence.

Even for the Fords, this wreaks of pure and utter desperation. They know their time is running out. MetroMan, I owe you a beer.

This whole thread has been 3 years of running speculation from MetroMan's (anonymous) "reliable sources." What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Sandro Lisi being released is nothing short of vindication for the Ford's and a smack in the face of the conspiracy theorists with a healthy dose of reality and truth. The only obstruction and conspiracy I see is a witch hunt perpetrated by the left wing media backed by the downtown elites and spread on leftist forums like UT.
They couldn't stop the Ford's at the ballot box so they spy on them and try to intimidate them into backing down from the housecleaning they're doing down at City Hall. Trying to overturn the results of the election is subverting democracy, which is a far cry from the values the leftists claim to support. Bunch of hypocrites.
The Star and Globe buying a plane to peep into their backyards is over the line and Gary Giroux should be ashamed for supporting them. He is a career paper-pusher who would be unemployable if he didn't have his union thugs at City Hall protecting him. Be a man! If these people have a problem with the Ford's they should take care of it face to face, man to man. Call him any time! Knock on his door any time! Leave his family and his kids out of it.
