stephen_rockefeller Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 What if it really was someone here? Although I think that the people who are stealing LEGO are stealing them purely because the toy is easy to sell quickly, especially below retail. I doubt most of these idiots have any clue what the secondary market prices would be on the sets they are stealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeemed763 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Well, this should be pretty easy to figure out, its the member who is unable to respond due to being in jail right now. Not it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legodog Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Well, this should be pretty easy to figure out, its the member who is unable to respond due to being in jail right now. Not it! Good point. I guess the last member to not respond would have to be this guy right. That only leaves 10k+ other suspects at this point ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysbricks Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 What we have learned today: You can set up an expensive and highly technical ring of barcode switchery. Finesse method. Or run out the front door with a loaded cart. Brute force method. Either way, steal a lego go to jail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anakinisvader Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I am responding from the slammer today. All they gave me is a laptop and internet. All my rights have been taken away. Excuse me, my filet mignon is here now. Ok, anyways, I was framed. My fro is much bigger in real life. I don't steal LEGO's, I just borrow them permanantly. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen_rockefeller Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 He will not spend a day in prison.......he will probably get off with probation and time served. I have first hand experience (the good side) of how the criminal justice system works and trust me this Lego thief will get a slap on the wrist. The system is more in favor of punishing violent criminal offenders and and trust me again, they can't even get that right most of the time.

terrymc4677 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 on his way out the door, his wife yelled "and don't you dare come back home without picking up a new bathmat!". instead of jail time, his punishment should be that he is forced to separate flat 1x1 bricks without the use of a brick separater.

Yep. Baseplates full of 1x1 plates even. Fingers would be bleeding midway through the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat 2x2 bricks stuck together 20 high on a flat base-plate is more like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grolim Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hopefully they throw the brick at him... and don't just lego of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmo Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Not sure if this has been posted yet. Really sad since he probably didn't need the financial advantage. Maybe he got caught up in the thrill. http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/VP-of-Palo-Altos-SAP-Arrested-in-Lego-Scam-152320475.html Of course my curiosity is wondering what sets he was buying. The audio of the story does mention some specific prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@rtisan Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 This is an old story (from 2012), and there was at least 1 more incident like this that occurred. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
