English term or phrase: "RA" - abbreviation
- Why this one? (1st Gold Thief)
- Cause it's at the edge of the downtown area
and it's the smallest shipment in the larger RA's and depots
and they can only come at us from one direction. (2nd Gold Thief)

Selected answer:Receiving Area/Regional Area
Explanation:

In the context provided from the movie transcript, "RA" likely stands for "Receiving Area" or "Regional Area," referring to places where shipments are received or distributed within larger logistical or distribution networks. The term could be specific to the context of the film and its setting, possibly related to logistics, warehousing. Without more context or knowledge of the specific movie, it's a bit challenging to provide a precise definition

neutral  Daryo: "regional area" could make sense in this movie // OTOH ***in this movie*** "receiving area" would be pure nonsense - it applies to ONE WAREHOUSE, not a whole sprawling town with a choice of several warehouses to rob.
