GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Branford resident Richard Fredrick Torrey, III, 35, was arrested Sunday after allegedly stealing Lego sets from Walmart.

At 3:59 p.m. Torrey entered Walmart with re-usable shopping bags going to the Lego section of Walmart in Butler Plaza, Gainesville, Florida.

Torrey filled the shopping bags with 26 Lego sets with a value of $1,001 and walked past cash registers.

A Walmart loss prevention employee called Gainesville Police to report Torrey exiting the store.

Since when did it become against the law to steal stuff from stores?

It’s amazing how much some of those sets cost. https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-6278925-Ideas-2019-3/dp/B07PX3WW5N/ref=sr_1_7?crid=A8K6DXJFKCHA&keywords=lego%2Bsets&qid=1666206439&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI5LjU0IiwicXNhIjoiOS4wNSIsInFzcCI6IjguNjMifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=Leg%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-7&th=1

I do wonder if you bought lego sets and organized them into like parts and sold the parts piecemeal at the local flea markets, I wonder if you could make a decent income?

It is expensive to have to buy an entire set for just a few needed parts to complete a set.

Took my grandkids to Legoland, near San Diego. I’ve had my fill of Legos for the next 10 years.

Wouldn’t that be the sort of cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Constitution?

Yes, it’s true. It’s still illegal to steal stuff from stores in Florida. We’re kinda backward that way. It’s why I moved down here, because I’m such a troglodyte.

Clicked the link to see the perp.

He looks like someone more likely to steal ribs and BBQ sauce!
