Came here to say this!
Remove LEGO from this headline and it's super mundane.
$1400 is what -- a single Millennium Falcon set?
2 people “stole” $1400 worth of merch made by a multi-billion dollar company and sold by a multi-billion dollar retailer. I don’t see the issue that’s a rounding error on a spread sheet to the companies
It's not a rounding error. Its cost gets spread across other products in the store, meaning everyone pays for them. Walmart isn't just gonna take the loss themselves.
So four sets total then? Cuz LEGOs are fuckin expensive.
I really genuinely hope they're actively having a blast building those sets right now.
Is this even a felony? What slow news day bullshit is this?
impossible, I was playing split screen videogames with every silver Chevy Equinox driver on earth at the time this was alleged to have happened
Jfc criminals, wear a mask. Covid made it perfectly acceptable to walk around covering your face. Just cough a little bit. Wear a hat. Fake glasses…. Fucking anything.
I’m certainly not crying that overpriced toys were stolen from a greedy corporation, but dumb criminals deserve to be caught.
