That last story, it doesn't matter if "they're just toys" or not. The guy should NOT have taken them in the first place.
Exactly. How is it different if he steals a car for $20000 or a toy for the same price? It's still same $$$ value.
He would have been sitting in jail, I wouldn't have been nice. You take my collection, no matter WHY I have that collection, it's mine. And I will press charges. And take custody. She had to know he had those, so ex isn't innocent in this either and I'm quite sure he bragged about ripping off her ex. I owned a comic shop, i have a comic collection and a huge book collection. And if my stuff went missing, I would not only know, I would be owning the person who did it, even if it was my ex. Nope, thieves get to sit it in jail and I get the stuff back. And if he' has messed up the stuff, he gets the summary judgement for replacement. $20k is nothing to sneeze at, it's a felony.
There are people who refuse to believe that something "made for kids" could ever be valuable. If you show them how much a certain thing is going for, they refuse to believe it. "No one in their right mind would pay that much for an old toy!"
People often see "toys" and forget that people put money into these items to collect and own
I've collected stereographic images/viewers for 40+ years and still have people see some of the modern viewers (view master units) and want to know why I collect "toys"
I simply tell them that I have images and viewers that are nearly 180 years old and when I started adding viewmaster units I bought a couple cheap units that people could use to see some of the view master reels I had along with a couple modern stereo viewers for sane reason
I have a handful of Lego sets that became valuable. I would be upset if someone stole them from me, and they are only worth about $200 each.
Story 4 - It doesn't matter what the item is, it if it's worth money and can be sold for that money that's a crime. There are many things I don't think are worth it but it's still theft and a crime. To brazenly do so on camera is dumb as a sack of rocks.
Vintage set are worth a ton and I would press charges if someone stole my vintage Lego trains set
People can even understand the value of Stamp Collections
It doesn't matter if the items are worth money or not...
If they do not belong to you and you take them from the person they do belong to, it's Theft, pure and simple...
Right! My husband recently came across some old McDonalds toys my Grandma collected for me still in the plastic and asked if they are worth anything? (he was going to give then to the kids if not) I said "IDK?" One Google search later and I find out the full set of 8 that I have can go for 45.00usd or more. It is not a lot but even the right MCD Toys can gain value! I'm glad he asked before just ripping them open! LOL
Collector's take their collections very seriously. My husband and I collect comics and some statues. Some of them are worth hundreds up to over $1,000. You bet I would press charges.
Last story: I had a highly valuable comic from the 80s. It was taken by my brother who collected comics at that time as well. I got it back undamaged when a mutual lawyer friend told him how much it was worth and the crap storm he would get if I called the police. Collecting isn't a joke
Exactly. Collecting different things is no different than collecting sports memorabilia or minted coins.
You were lucky that it was undamaged when it was returned.
Yes, it is. Comics ever more so, and that's coming from an avid comic reader.
You're not even reading it, you just leave it there in its sealed package as if it could spoil.
For all you know, it's not even a comic. Just a cover with some blank pages inbetween, because again, you've never actually opened it and never will.
Sorry if this sounds a bit hostile, it's not really supposed to be an attack or anything, just rambling, I mean, live and let live, right? I just don't get it. I don't understand how anyone would pay good money for something they're just going to look at.
@@HungryLoki I originally bought 2 of each. 1 was to read and 1 was the collectable. I bought them because I loved them and hoped they would increase in value
@HungryLoki Dude, do you get off on being a dismissive killjoy to everyone else in this video's comment section? I'm pretty sure whatever you read, despite the fact that you're a so-called avid reader, toilet paper. Because that's how you come off.
Doesn’t matter WHAT they were
Ex's new husband was told not to come in, still came inside, and STOLE stuff from OP's property
Agreed. In the last story, OP is not the AH. I’d raise hell if someone stole my rare or vintage sets.
Heck, if somebody stole the suitcase of assorted Legos I grew up with, then passed down to my daughter, I would freak out. Not worth much in dollars, but you can't put a price on those memories.
Last Story: Would the "Friends" say the same thing about stolen coins from a coin collection? They're just pennies. Or rare Action Superman comic? It's just a kids cartoon book. It's his property, period and whether they appreciate that people find it collectable and valuable is irrelevant.
Hippity hoppity, give me back my property.
Excellent analysis. And in this case, it would be like he melted the coins down, or burned the comic books.
I mean, just buy a new copy and give that back?
If someone steals a penny from whenever, just give them back a modern penny, it's wotrh exactly the same, in that if you were to go into a shop and ask the clerk to accept your penny instead of the hundred dollars your purchase is worth, they would laugh at you and tell you to pull out a 100$ bill or gtfo.
Yes, people would say the same things.
Their just coins. They can't be that valuable.
It's just a stupid comic book. I doubt anyone would buy it for more than a couple of bucks at a yard sale.
People like that would never see the true value of an old item. The comic book could be worth tens of thousands and people like this would scoff and laugh when you tell them you're taking it to an auction house to sell. They would tell you you're wasting everyone's time. No one is going to pay that kind of money for a stupid comic book. They likely wouldn't even believe you sold it for big money unless they saw the frenzy at the auction and wouldn't believe that people would pay that much.
Imagine if you wrecked someone’s stamp collection and then went “it’s just paper!”
It’s not “just a piece of paper,” it’s that person’s pride and joy!
“You killed my father!”
“Eh, he was just water with carbon and some other stuff mixed in.”
A copy of the first Superman comic "Action Comics," #1 just sold for 6 MILLION US dollars. Collectibles aren't just old junk.
I actually have a GOOD lawyer story.
When I was a kid my mom and dad (step dad but, whatever, he was a good man) moved us down to S FL, it was to one of the wealthiest cities in the wealthiest counties (and the US, honestly) in the early 80s. We lived in the area where the neighborhoods were of blue collar/ middle class households. Not poor but nowhere near affluent.
We were good, though.
We'd moved from our pretty well-known and historical NE city and I was trying to deal with culture shock and being the new kid everywhere.
Enough background.
My second year (12 years old) there was a boy (14 and from a wealthy family) who kept bullying me for anything he could think of. A real jerk. I'll call him J, for jerk and it's the initial of his first name.
I ignored what I could, called out his BS when I'd had enough, and started with my parents, trying to get my school to do something about his bullying. Nope. No help there, or with his parents.
We rode the same bus so one day he finally got physical and started pushing me, a 4 foot 11 inch, 96 pound girl around.
J was 2 years older, like '5,6" and probably 110 lbs, maybe a bit more.
I started fighting back and it turned into actual blows back and forth.
I finally lost my shizz when he slugged me, knocking me down, broke my nose,fractured the orbital bone around my eye and split my lip.
I got so enraged not just at what he was doing but there were other kids just watching this BOY beat me up. So I got up and whaled on him, totally losing control. His eyes, nose,stomach and kidneys were pummeled. I went to town on him with the way I was taught to fight by my male cousins.
I got rushed to the hospital when my mom saw me once I was able to get away and limp home all bruised, bloodied and my dress all torn up.
Then his A Hole parents had the nerve to try to sue US even though my parents called the Sheriff's office to press charges and had all kinds of pictures, statements from the ER Drs, medical records (released with parents permission),etc.
Now these people didn't know that a good friend of our family was THE highest respected/well-known/expensive/experienced lawyers in the whole of S FL, and when he found out that his "niece" was beat up, put in the hospital overnight, then the parents of my attacker had the nerve to try to sue my parents, he stepped in and took over as our Defense attorney (Pro Bono, of course).
He dug up EVERYTHING that J did in school, every meeting between the principal and each set of parents.....ALL of it. Including what really went down that day and J getting off the bus nowhere NEAR his neighborhood and beat me up until I defended myself.
He utterly destroyed those parents and their BS lawsuit. Then filed a counter suit for damages, medical bills, assault with a boatload of evidence, AND the good old favorite Pain and Suffering.
Yes we won. Yes, both my parents and I were rewarded a f-ton of money from those wealthy jerks for everything "Uncle Sean" (not his real name. Just protecting him.) sued for, and more.
Sometimes lawyer stories are awesome.
Especially when it's a family friend looking out for us, keeping my folks from going bankrupt, and me from further abuse and court ordered community service or something to add insult to all of my injuries. 😘💖🫂🐾🐾😉👍
Wow! Absolutely amazing! I HATE bullies with a passion. I'm so glad you and your family managed to teach that jerk's family a lesson! It also angers me when schools won't do anything about bullying. They are in loco parentis when children are in their (so called) care. Anyway, bloody good for you! 👍👏💜
Yay, for Uncle Sean (not his real name)!!! The bully's parents were finally put in their place! I'm sorry that OP had to go thru that (I was shocked to read that OP was a girl!). She kicked his ass, filed a counter-suit against him and his parents and GOT PAID! Hopefully no one was afraid of him anymore after that since he got beat up by a 4'11", 96lb. girl. Bullies (and their ridiculous parents) are totally useless.
Uncle, despite doing the case free, could have thrown in his normal lawyer fees. The loser has to pay lawyer fees for both sides most times. He didn't have to let anyone outside your family know he was working for free. He could have gotten a nice big check from them for the pain they caused him in knowing they hurt his niece.
@@Mew_Mokuba_Akari I honestly don't remember the particulars of what happened in court between the lawyers, I just know that Uncle Sean never charged my parents one cent. 😉👍
Story 4: Oops, maybe don't steal next time! Wow, what an interesting and mind-blowing concept, leaving things where they are and not putting them in a bag and walking away with it? Who would have thought such a thing!
Look, even if you don't care about the monetary value of lego sets, stealing is still stealing, and OP had the right to demand them back. If SD wanted those sets so badly, maybe save up to buy the sets later, or maybe use the spare pieces to make one himself
Final Story - DEFINITELY NTA!!! It doesn’t matter that the LEGO sets are toys, the BF committed a crime by trespassing into OP’s home when he was told not to enter and stole from OP. And OP’s Ex knew that her boyfriend stole the sets. The Ex, BF, and OP’s friends are the AHs.
Lego, jewelry, original painting by a master, or cash; theft is theft.
Like Granddad taught me: "Whether it's a penny or a million dollars, you're still a thief."
Weird how we've gone from when being outed as a thief could ruin your life even if the police were never involved, to people actually believing that theft is justified. One guy on the Internet responded to my comment that "Property rights are human rights" with "Property rights are everything that's wrong in this world!" He was totally serious.
The last one... he's no different than a break and enter... as he knew he was not welcome in the home, yet entered... clearly trespassing, and then stole items which were not his. If they were still in sealed boxes... and he opened them, I would count that as vandalism too. It doesn't matter the value, they had sentimental value.
He should have just called the police the moment. He came home and found what was stolen. I wouldn't have waited around to see what if anything the ex and her bf would do. I'd file theft charges and asked that my property be returned intact or he would sue him as well as trespassing and theft charges.
Story 4: I would encourage the op to go forward with the lawsuit regardless of what other people want to think. The guy ultimately screwed himself and the original posters ex-wife over all on his own. If he didn't want to have someone take legal action against him or set of him and his partner back financially for years to come he shouldn't have been a damn dirty thief. What rest assured I doubt that he'll be too keen on repeating such a thing in the future.
That first one reminded me of my late father-in-law. He was the county abstractor (title manager for property) and he discovered that there was a realtor in town who was scamming people out of their land, especially land with mineral rights. This was in Oklahoma and the county, like much of the state, is Native American population. Dad started accumulating information on the purchases and talking to the former owners. Once he had everything, he went to the Oklahoma Bureau of Investigations. The guy ended up in prison for a couple of decades and the property seized and returned. It also got the attention of the governor, who hired Dad to do special investigations. That job had him rescuing a kidnapping victim, as well as investigating and getting arrests of several different county officials around the state who were taking money, bribes, and other heinous activities. They tried really hard to ruin Dad's reputation, I have a lot of the newspaper articles for the time. And, at one point, there were questions about hits being put out on Dad and the family. But, it in the end, Dad prevailed, got a commendation from the governor, and passed away in his 90s.

Last story, punishing a thief is not being an A-hole.
Last story: it doesn't matter if it's Lego sets. If someoe steals from you, it's theft! And when the sets are worth $$$, it becomes a felony. Very simple, very effective against (male) Karens.
Lego sets are like fine wine, they become better/more valuable with age.
Last story: The SD went into OP's home, when he was told NOT TO and stole very expensive property. When the friends who said they were JUST TOYS found out how much they were valued at were they still just toys? This thieving idiot stole property that made this crime a felony and will more than likely do some time for it. Did he think OP wouldn't notice it? Unbelievable...smh
It's a fucking joke that people pay so much money for what's essentially a pile of plastic that is inevitably destined to land in the dumpster.
Story 1: Glad they were able to nail the POS lawyer.
There are a lot of lawyers or so called "nonprofit" orgs that do the same thing to veterans trying to get their benefits. They take some or all of any back paid benefits and often use their personal info to get more. Using accredited Veteran Services Officers (VSO) who charge nothing is the best way to go.
They call the owner of the lego stupid. They would not say that if the same happened to them. And you know it!
Last Story: NTA. Mom's boyfriend trespassed, stole valuable pieces of property, and then ruined devalued them by opening and gluing the Lego Sets. Depending on how old the set is or which one, many of those reach good prices when sold. People don't understand that many "toys" hold value as collectors items; especially in mint conditions. He literally brought this lawsuit upon himself. OPs only mistake was not calling the cops the moment the man stepped over the threshold.
Hope the Ex-wife is happy with the fact that her current partner is a thief that is going to cost them their savings as well as a felon due to the prison time he'll likely be serving. The son won't be missing out as clearly his dad does more in regards to taking care of him/making preparations for the son's future.
Doesn’t matter if it a lego set, you don’t take things from other people’s property nor do you enter someone’s house without permission. OP is not the jerk and those who said it was a joke, are not OP’s friend.
Last story - look up the Lego Auction in switzerland - they get crazy prices for the sets - a little garage set (in its original packing) got over 1000€
People who glue their LEGO sets together are psychopaths.
yeh. they literally made a whole movie about it...
I agree the only people I will forgive doing that are those that are building displays for LEGOLAND or those that will be on display inside the LEGO Stores.
Psychopaths? No my guy, those are sociopaths 😂
@@1LEgGOdtHell. Display-Only ANYTHING. As long as it's for the intent of being seen and not messed with. Some of the lego sets you can see at lego conventions would be a pain to reassemble without some Kragle. IE a few pieces of a massive structure break off or you drop the structure by accident. FUCK. THAT.
Yes I am, your point is? I did it with the excessively rare sets so they could be put on display, the ones less rare I'd take apart to build again but it depended on which set or model I was making. Also if it had moving parts I'd use silicone so they could still move but not fall apart.
Yeah, in that last story, the SD deserves no mercy. "It's just toys..." So what? It's just theft! And most likely Grand Theft considering the collector value, even at a low-ball appraisal. And as said in some other comments, OP didn't take anything from his son, SD did with his criminal act
Pff, collector value is irrelevant, make him pay retail price.
Stepfather was ultimately stealing from the boy.
Story 2: It's almost the perfect prank. The OP is right in that he would be at the bottom of the list of suspects because all he had to say in response to being accused is, "How dare you! I gave up my entire Christmas vacation to write this thing all for nothing? I'd want a piece of the prankster myself!"
Story 2: Don't really know why the boss is plagiarizing, like if OP screwed up writing a memo, that would be on OP, not the boss. But no, he took a bogus memo, passed it off as his own, and he got a double whammy.
Maybe don't plagiarize next time, hmm?
Last story, just because it's lego makes it OK to steal a huge value item?
Also the Kragle!
@@anionleader Quick, someone find the Piece De Resistance.
It's mass-produced plastic garbage. Yes, it's s a good toy for kids, but if you're collecting them there's something seriously wrong with you.
I happen to come across an old Lego set that I bought for a pitence. I took it home and told my kids, who were very into Lego , to not touch the set. I knew that it was worth a lot of money. It was an old set that had no plans just blocks and some other pieces that you could have bought from them . After it had set for several years I finally asked my son and daughter if either of them wanted it. My daughter wound up getting it,l just hope that she takes care of it.
As for the OP he is definitely not the ahole. The man stole some very expensive sets and he should pay for them.
Yes, they should pay, but only retail price and certainly not what the guy thinks it's worth.
Last Story: OP should file for full custody because he doesn't want his kid under the custody of someone so stupid as to steal AFTER he has been notified he is visible on camera and not complying with leaving the premises.
The most expensive individual Lego set sold at auction to date is a 2007 gold brick, which sold for $14,450. Lego's Space Commander Set goes for 10,000+ It's not about them being toys, its about them being exceedingly rare and the people who take Lego that seriously should not be underestimated.
I wouldn't pay 2$ for it, collectors are just insane.
@@HungryLoki People just choose to invest value in the strangest of things.
Last story hits different now that I have a boxed Lego set I have no interest in opening ever.
Edit: it’s the Lego Mimic Dice Box. After seeing how the price skyrocketed on eBay for just this gift with purchase, I’m keeping it new in box.
POS lawyer couldn't turn his 'clients' in it was the only thing he had to keep them from telling on him
Story 4: OP is NTA. The thief needs to be held accountable for his crimes against OP and his property. Felony Theft of Property and Unlawful Entry are serious crimes.
Story 4 has an update. Form what I remember, it went down like this: OP sued, the stepdad left the stolen sets (at least one was glued together) at his porch. The lawyer said it's the same as admission of guilt. OP's son went to live with his dad, since it was awkward at mom's place. OP won the trial (sadly only for the price of just those 2 parts of the set, not the whole 5-piece set). Sorry, I don't remember if the stepdad went to jail.
Last story: To OP's friends and others who say "It's just toys", would you be saying this if it was a stranger who broke in and took the sets?
Or what about if the stepdad took an antique gun collection and had them all updated to shoot modern rounds. Or imagine that he stole a numbers matching 1970 Pontiac GTO, swapped out the engine and gearbox, stripped the factory paint from it, painted it in Hello Kitty themed colors, and decked out the interior in Hello Kitty colors and themes.
All of the above is similar to stealing the lego sets, taking them out of the box, and putting them together with super glue.
Last story pissed me off. The people giving the guy whole stole from OP a pass are dumb.
Final Story - Stealing is stealing, doesn’t matter if it’s electronics, cash, jewelry, or toys.
With story 1 I think the lawyer didn't want to report them because then people would put 2 and 2 together and realise he was the one reporting them and then he'd lose his ill gotten income
Ah, I remember the Lego thief story. Great one. NTA.
First one sending INS after people has both too much risk that an INS agent would look into the cases, and also that his clients letting the rest of the illegals know they got hit by INS right after this case.
Or he reported them and they're not undocumented. My grandpa has been naturalized for decades, and racists being who they are, he gets reported to Immigration at least twice a year, because of course anyone who's darker than a paper bag and speaks Spanish *has* to be undocumented.
One farmer in Texas would hire illegals for the growing season. He'd promise to pay them at the end of the season when the crops were sold. As soon as the crops were harvested, he'd call INS and have them all deported. There's a special place in hell for that guy.
Third story...op id watch your back cause if it was me youd be my only goal
On the last story, he was told to wait on the front porch for his stepson, but he went in anyways. He owes the money for what he stole.
OP didn't ruin the chance for his ex and her new husband to get a new home, Mr. Sticky Fingers ruined that by entering into OPS house and stealing from him.
I'd ask that pro-bono lawyer. "Do you REALLY want to drag this out any further? You arent getting paid from this client anyway. Might as well cut your losses and spend your energy on paying clients."
On the Lego story. In the 1970s, a man got sent to prison for taking some baseball cards from his wife's ex husband's house, allegedly soy his step son. Turns out he showed the kid how to put a card in the spokes of a bike to make it sound"cool." Problem was it was a Hank Aaron rookie card. He knew nothing about baseball and his ignorance cost him.
Story 1: he probably didn't report people to immigration because he didn't want to scare away his client base
Story 4: someone explain to me how it's childish to demand something of monetary value back? rather it be Legos, a game console, collectable action figures or literally anything that doesn't belong to them.
It's not, but saying a set that was maybe 50$ in retail is now 5'000$ is ridiculous.
Have him give back the items or pay the retail price, but not whatever fantasy you've got cooking in your head.
That attorney had it coming to him.
Last Story: “Just Toys,” yeah right. They usually increase in value. Especially those LEGOs.
As someone who as about $2K+ invested in D&D 5e books, I'd be exceptionally annoyed if someone utterly ruined them, especially since I don't think that a couple are being printed anymore...... and I just have the ones with the regular covers.
Even as a 10 year old, I knew that some things could be very Pricey, if it’s rare.
The thing about legos is that if they’re really old, and unopened, and let’s say worth about 10,000 dollars at the initial time of purchase, the value of them significantly of them significantly skyrockets over time because those sets don’t exist anymore, and the fact that they’re in their original packaging adds to that, so in the end, OP is actually going to end up with less money than they could have for those sets since they’re only giving back the original value
I have many vintage Hot Wheels cars that are worth anywhere from $25 to over $100. If someone were to steal them, I would definitely press charges.
The Last Story: So if it wasn't Lego, and instead was jewellery, or a car that was stolen would OP's friends still have an issue with him pressing charges and suing for theft? Highly unlikely, but because it's something they personally deem childish/unworthy they think he should just get over it and not sue his ex's thief partner. It doesn't matter what the item was, he stole tens of thousands of dollars worth of OP's property and has since destroyed it (super-glueing the pieces together). He will have to pay for his literal crime. Theft is a crime. He is a grown adult who chose to break the law, thus he has to deal with the consequences.
LEGO is worth so much money!
The partner of the ex KNEW to not enter the house, and did it anyway!
I am not sure if there was an update to the story or not, but I do remember it, and I know that I am firmly on OP's side!
story 4: the guy was told to NOT go into OP's house and did so anyway (trespassing), he then stole some of the sets, and ontop of that, the sets are ones that are worth 20K, doesnt matter if they are just toys, OP is definitely in the right here,
He stole your stuff. There are consequences for it. Don't want to get in trouble then don't steal.
Last Story: NTA. Theft is theft.
As someone who used to be into Legos like OP, some sets are hundreds on the low end, let alone still be the boxes with pristine packaging can be worth thousands depending on which set and if it's discontinued, which a lot of them are. So stealing some and it being worth a house payment isn't uncommon. Yes Legos are toys, but they're also interactive collectibles to be put on display.
For the Lego set if they’re old they are worth a lot of money. My younger brother and I have the original castle collection and it’s worth a fortune right now. If someone stole it we’d not only sue they’d spend a long time in prison.
Imagine putting more value on a pile of future plastic garbage than on a man's life and time.
Bro, you gotta get me more lawyer stories. I love'em.
That Lego set might be worth $20,000 NOW, but he planned to cash it in, in the future when it would be worth even more. Pursue legal action and trespass him as well.
For the last story, I always question how collections are not worth that much to those not collecting until you attempt to take away their items...
I honestly don't understand in Story 3 why Pro Bono would be so upset just because his client's truck was parked outside his office. OP could have easily had it towed to a storage yard and Joe would not have been able to pay the costs.
Get many pro revenge ideas from this channel. Starting to keep notes, now.
That lawyer getting his comeuppance gave me a bit of a justice chub especially for being disbarred
Last story: I bought my godson the Harry Potter Hogwarts Express lego set nearly thirty years ago. He still has it, and it is worth a small fortune.

The last story is crazy. Either the new husband instantly put together the stolen sets and glued them, or he's unwilling to part with the stolen goods.
He knew how much they were worth, because he himself was missing the 2 sets from the collection. He didn't have them because of how rare and expensive they were.
How did he think he would get away with stealing them?
I would go after him. He knew the value, and his actions are either stopping his partners kid from getting college money, or a bigger room in a new house.
Not to forget that this man that has influence over the kid is setting a terrible example. How is the ex wife ok with her partners actions? The man put their future in jeopardy by stealing from her child's father!
All it takes for lawyers to succeed is for good people to do nothing
Steal someone's cash : "it's just cotton fiber paper"
There's an update to the last post where OP says that they went to the cops and a lawyer with the evidence, the BF was arrested for grand larceny, breaking and entering, and a few other charges. Ex is upset at OP and new BF but bailed BF out. Lawyer was surprised at how dumb BF was since he did it in broad daylight and in front of a kid no less. That could factor into it as well. OP did also say that BF dropped the opened sets off on OP's porch and that the value is now less than half due to that. Also that since BF broke up the sets is irrelevant since it's like stealing one baseball card out of a set and destroying it, you only get the value of that one card and the fact he returned them is an admission of guilt. The post is marked inconclusive on BORU since OP deleted their account and this was over a year ago.
Anyone who uses Kragle is NOT a real Lego fan in my opinion. Thief? Yes. Lego fan? Nope!
Story 3: I thought they couldn't take your residence or vehicle in such situations.
at this time, the most expensive individual lego set sold at auction to date is a 2007 gold brick, which sold for $14,450.
Story 3: More along the lines of "Nuclear Revenge"
a attorney could be disbarred for committing fraud or similar crimes like stealing money from clients. if you have a lawyer who commits fraud do report them to your state’s bar association
Story 3 - I’m usually okay with Petty Revenge stories. These Pro Revenge stories do not always sit well with me, though. OP made sure to first let us know his victim was REALLY bad (wife beaters are like half a step above child molesters) and I’m sure everything he did to Joe (and presumably the other people he says he destroyed in his career as a life-destroying lawyer for hire) was fully legal. But the joy he clearly felt about it all. That’s above and beyond a lawyer’s fiduciary responsibility to his clients. This felt like a dude who likes beating people up getting a job as a cop. Basically a sociopath with enough common sense to stay within the lines.
Collectors items are collectors items - why should it matter that they're toys? As if stamps (f.e.) make more "sence" to be worth something..
Re the compo lawyer, he didn't turn in his victims because he would be admitting knowledge of the status, using it to his advantage and withholding it from the authorities. This would have lead to a longer sentence with additional charges.
Story 4:
"They're just toys"
Yeah and superman issue number 1 was just a comic at one point,but if you come across one these days it can make you a lot of money.
I just bought my son a set of Legos he had when he was a kid, he loved that set. His dad broke/lost it when they moved accidentally on purpose. It was $20 something in the 90s now it cost me $120. He was thrilled when he got the set. We both "play" with Legos all the time. You are NTAH!
The last story, this guy should ask the nae sayers, if I stole your car, and said to you, well it's just a car, you can take the bus, what would you say? Also, it doesn't matter what the object is, he told the guy to NOT go into his house, he did so anyway, and stole from him. Who cares if he's your ex's boyfriend, he's not paying this guys bills, or sleeping with this guy, so they have no relationship.
Another wonderful day with Darkfluff 😊
Yay another DF Day
WOOO! 🎉
I love his Black Sheep animated Avatar. ❤❤
He's a sweetie too.
tbh regarding the final story for me it w,ould not even be about the money it would be about sending a message
theft is theft!
The last one, my cousin and her husband paid for their son's college education and his further training to be a pilot, when they sold his old Lego sets that were very expensive. OP could have been saving those to to pay for his son's college education and his stepdad stole that from him
On the last story on can say so many things. Do you want a child living with parents that commit crimes ?? They don't need a bigger place, seeing that the stepdad changed location to behind bars, so one person less in the house creates more space. And one could go on and on and on.
Last story: as a wife to a husband who still LOVES Lego.. I’d absolutely sue . Them old Lego in boxes are worth tons! I mean hello u go to Disney and the new millennium falcon Lego was an astronomical amount of money!!!!
Its so easy for last OP's so-called friends to claim he's overeacting when its not their stuff being stolen. Love to see if they'd be singing the same tune if it was any of their property being stolen.
Some rare Lego sets can easily cost Thousands each. The most expensive individual set is a 2007 gold brick which sold for $14,450
Final Story: Anyone saying just toys doesn't know what they're talking about but OP shouldn't be looking for validation.
No, OP has every right to ask.
@@StarWizardGanymede No he doesn't as it is clear he isn't the asshole. You gotta be able to read in-between the lines as in reality this story is fake or that everyone is dunking on OP. So he wants someone to tell him he is on the right. The thing is though what we say and think doesn't matter as he is most likely out of that money. He should be talking to a lawyer and calling the cops not posting on the Internet.
Yeah... And priceless antique China is 'just plates". 😅
story 1: I'd give the lawyer at least 12 years
S1 There probably was a nexus between the the PoS lawyer and the insurance company's accounts guys doing the payout. How hard is it to get details of an account with the payee's name on it and deposit money directly in it.
Last story from plastic used, safety features being added, decals, pieces and colors being decommissioned and even manuals being replaced, lego sets that are retired can sky rocket in price if unopened. Even a more current low piece count thing that was retired, bionicle, is going a couple hundred dollars. Having and older set that is retired is like having expensive art
Story 3 remind me to never cross that lawyer 😳
I do not buy collectables, but even I understand collectables. Also, I want the people not here legally to get legal. I don't want them to go away, they make the world better. I just want them to be legal and not get shot by some idiot.
