Came here to say this!
Remove LEGO from this headline and it's super mundane.
$1400 is what -- a single Millennium Falcon set?
So four sets total then? Cuz LEGOs are fuckin expensive.
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.
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.
