GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Branford resident Richard Fredrick Torrey, III, 35, was arrested Sunday after allegedly stealing Lego sets from Walmart.

At 3:59 p.m. Torrey entered Walmart with re-usable shopping bags going to the Lego section of Walmart in Butler Plaza, Gainesville, Florida.

Torrey filled the shopping bags with 26 Lego sets with a value of $1,001 and walked past cash registers.

A Walmart loss prevention employee called Gainesville Police to report Torrey exiting the store.

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…

In the UK there used to be a child's toy called the Golliwog. It even appeared as the mascot on Robertson's Marmalade. Biden's Haitian press secretary looks like a Golliwog Doll. His previous press secretary, "Raggedy Jen", looked like a Raggedy Ann Doll.

Is it possible that Biden chooses his press secretaries based on their resemblance to rag dolls?

I would give that a distinct possibility.

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 .
