Criminal Mastermind Caught Stealing Over $10k in Legos

admin May 6, 2011


Lego Stephen Hawking, straddling that 'How cool is the guy that made this/The guy that made that has not, nor ever will, engage in sexual intercourse' line.

10-year-old me just creamed his Spider-Man Underoos imagining how many Legos $10k must buy.


A Norman, Oklahoma man was arrested on a grand larceny complaint for attempting to steal over $10k in Lego toys from a Target store. Todd Franklin Curtis’ plan, which makes Heat look like amateur hour by comparison, was to load a cart with Legos, leave it near the store’s cash registers, walk outside…then walk back in a few minutes later and push it the rest of the way out the door. In a stroke of luck, one of the store employees, whose IQ must have been as vast as the Pacific in order to discern the brilliant theft taking place in his midst, detained Curtis and called the police.


Authorities now believe that Curtis had been stealing Lego kits for months and selling them on eBay. Why, you ask? Because an eBay seller by the name of “clcurtis33” who lists his location as Norman, Oklahoma, has a feedback history that shows him selling nothing but sealed Lego sets, several of which are the same as products listed in the police report. Seriously? Selling stolen goods from an eBay account containing your last name? Were your initials followed by your SSN already taken? So congratulations, Todd Franklin Curtis. By comparison, you’ve managed to make the Cookie Crook look like the criminal mind of our time.


I still don't get how a dog helps you commit crimes. Other than breaking leash laws, I suppose.
