  1. €1k sounds like a lot, but that could just be one to two sets.

  2. >A 51-year-old father of nine has been jailed for six months for stealing

    Why do articles insist on doing that? This guys parental status is absolutely irrelevant.

    >Sergeant John Kelleher said Mr McDonagh had **over 170 previous convictions,** including convictions for burglary, theft and making off without paying for a service

    Hahahaa.. Oh right… That’s why he went into a smyths drunk and started trying to rob massive sets of lego.
    He has 170 previous convictions and isn’t in jail, so he assumed like all other 170 times, he’d be fine.

  3. I heard the staff tried to take the goods back from him. But he wouldn’t Lego.

  4. I’m just glad the Gardai were able to find all the pieces and build a strong case.

  5. Lego is a pretty good item to steal. Health black market as stolen Lego goods tend to sell for just as much as legit goods. No loss in value.

  6. They’ll be building and putting together the evidence for a while in this case.
