Police say they discovered a “huge cache of Legos” when they raided a Silicon Valley executive’s $2 million home recently. The San Jose Mercury News says the man devised a way to use bar codes to steal “a Santa’s workshop worth of Lego toys.” Apparently, he printed his own stickers and placed them over real barcodes, which allowed him to buy toys at huge discounts.
