 Maybe inflation is the excuse that these thieves can give. Police in Oregon have recovered 4,000 stolen Lego sets, valued at over $200,000. This is a three-month-long investigation. Police arrested the owner of a store called Brick Builders for knowingly purchasing new and unopened Lego sets that were stolen from local stores. Thieves then used the money to buy drugs. Lego is by far the largest toy company in the world, about the size of Hasbro and Mattel combined.
