Because of the State. That would be my guess.

Foolish man. Should robbed in California, although would have to drop the last $100 to stay free. Maybe coulda claimed they were on sale, so under $900 in value.
Yeah, that’s just nuts.
One of my daughters bought the Nintendo NES set.
The other daughter and her husband are really into the Star Wars stuff, but I don’t think they have the Millennium Falcon. Not that one, anyway. The money they make, they can afford a few toys, but I don’t think they would plunk down that kind of money for that.
The stores better keep that one under lock and key.
🙄🙄🙄
I could buy another gun for that kind of money…
Is it possible that Biden chooses his press secretaries based on their resemblance to rag dolls?
I would give that a distinct possibility.

Dude needs to get a life.

During the covid shut-down my 20-something son bought several Star Wars lego kits - over $100 each iirc. At least he has a decent job and used his own money.
I wonder if this thief made a “gun” out of lego blocks and got charged with possession as well?
An average of $38. Maybe he was going to donate them to kids in Ft Meyers.
Small sets of LEGO pieces are very expensive on eBay.
I recall a Lego thief story a few years back. The guy was printing his own UPC code stickers for modestly priced Lego sets and slapping them on the high priced sets .
