INTERNATIONAL LEGO THIEVES

French police say they have started to build a case against an international gang of thieves that target Legos. A woman and two men were caught in the middle of stealing boxes of Lego from a shop in Yvelines, near Paris, last June 2020. The three, all from Poland, reportedly admitted to being part of an international gang specializing in stealing Legos. Investigators said they would book a hotel in Paris and then raid toy stores across the city before returning to Poland to sell the Lego sets. Now police in France are warning shops and parents to be on their guard, with some Lego sets being highly sought after by collectors.
* Stealing candy from a baby is so last century.
* That sounds so dashing: “International Lego Thief.” I’m envisioning George Clooney, or Daniel Craig.
* Seriously, there’s a movie here. “Legos 11” or something like that. They rob Legoland, steal the Lego White House.
* Obviously, all they need to do is put an itty bitty tracking device in each Lego.
