Well, that's really bad about the theft, but there's good news and bad news. Good : At least the thieves liked Lego! Bad: That's a lot of money TLC could have made but didn't. Why couldn't they have stolen some megablox so their company could lose money?

LEGO is one of the top toys that are stolen. That is a fact, and some people are having issues when they buy it on their credit cards because of that. This isn't a new issue. We've been hearing about this for...well I would say 10 years now? It seems like it. Pretty much at least every 3 or 4 months we hear reports of it all over the news. There was a family in the States that stole some insane amount and got caught selling it on ebay. And we all know just how much things go for on ebay. Plus, we had that issue with people doing the direct to drop ship off ebay with credit card fraud.

But then again...if you go to the Cathedral of Notre Dame..there are huge signs telling you to be on the alert for pick pockets. People steal. That doesn't make it right or wrong. It just is.
