花生解毒:
1) 这个也是个AFOL.玩家
Wylie said Langenbach had many assembled LEGO sets in his home, and "drawers
and drawers of LEGO bricks separated out by color."
2) 玩LEGO有风险，要谨慎啊。
3) 是硅谷生活压力比较大么?
4) 居然有46盒 Magma Monster ..这个我怀疑不是在target.
这个LEGO.com 有一阵很便宜，2块钱左右的样子
5) 有媒体说279的Millennium Falcon.这个一定有错误。
因为Millennium Falcon UCS版本， 要500块钱。
而现在的版本才100多。
279.98的应该是 LEGO MINDSTORM NXT.
He allegedly switched labels on two LEGO products at the store near his home
, valued at $89.99 and $279.98
6) 其实换条码这个把戏，早有有先例。被抓

The vice president of Palo Alto software firm SAP Labs, LLC will be charged
on Tuesday with four felony burglary charges for allegedly pasting
fraudulent barcodes on LEGO toys at local Target stores.
Thomas Langenbach, 47, allegedly purchased the items at greatly lowered
prices scanned from the barcodes, according to a criminal complaint by the
Santa Clara County District Attorney's office.
Loss-prevention officers initially detained Langenbach at Target, Inc., 555
Showers Drive, Mountain View, after he purchased a LEGO set that he
allegedly labeled with a fraudulent barcode. He told police he works as vice
president for SAP.
Mountain View police arrested him on May 8 at the store at about 3:45 p.m.
Langenbach had been "ticket switching" LEGO boxes since April 20 at the
Mountain View, Cupertino and Target stores and another Target near his San
Carlos home, said Liz Wylie, Mountain View police spokeswoman.
Police found hundreds of unopened LEGO sets -- many special edition items --
at his gated, multimillion-dollar home, according to court papers. Six of
the seven items stolen from the stores were found at Langenbach's home,
according to a police report filed with the court.
Investigators also found eight Ziploc bags containing labels with fraudulent
barcodes in his 2011 Toyota Sienna van, and shipping boxes in the home.
Police say he had an eBay account, through which he has sold 2,100 items
since April 17, 2011.
Wylie said Langenbach has sold about $30,000 in merchandise on the eBay
account under the name Tom's Brickyard. At the time of his arrest, 193 items
were for sale. Most were LEGO sets, according to court papers.
Langenbach will be formally arraigned on four counts of second-degree
burglary -- entering with intent to commit theft, for the Mountain View and
Cupertino thefts. But a fifth charge wasn't filed by the district attorney's
office, likely because there wasn't surveillance video of that incident,
according to court papers, Wylie said.
Target obtained surveillance footage of Langenbach in the other incidents,
according to documents. Langenbach attracted the attention of Target's
security after the first case in Cupertino, Wylie said. The popular,
expensive toys are targeted for thefts, and the stores keep a close watch on
the products, conducting daily inventories, she said.
On April 20, Langenbach allegedly entered the Cupertino store at 20745
Stevens Creek Blvd. and purchased two LEGO kits. He added a barcode sticker
for $24.99 to a kit valued at $69.99, and a second sticker for $49.99 to a
kit valued at $119, Wylie said. That same day he allegedly switched barcodes
on two LEGO products at the Mountain View store: one for $49.99 valued at $
139.99 and another for $19.99 on a product valued at $59.99.
He allegedly switched labels on two LEGO products at the store near his home
, valued at $89.99 and $279.98 on April 26. On May 1, he again went to the
Mountain View store, purchasing a set valued at $59.99 for $19.99, Wylie
said.
By this time, Target's loss-prevention department began circulating a
photograph of Langenbach at all of its stores, which was taken from
surveillance footage. On May 8, a loss-prevention officer immediately
recognized him and observed Langenbach putting barcodes on three items,
Wylie said.
Langenbach allegedly went to the customer price scanner and checked the
items, then returned two to the shelves. He then purchased one LEGO toy
containing the fraudulent barcode, a Razor scooter and dish liquid. Security
detained him outside the store, according to court papers. He was booked
into Santa Clara County Main Jail in San Jose and was later released on $10,
000 bail.
Wylie said Langenbach had many assembled LEGO sets in his home, and "drawers
and drawers of LEGO bricks separated out by color."
Langenbach denied that he intended to steal the items, according to court
papers. He told police that he had seen a video on YouTube about how to make
fake barcodes to get cheaper toys. He said he switched the barcodes out of
curiosity, to see if it really worked. He also wanted to see if the customer
price scanner and cash-register scanner priced the items the same or
cheaper, he said.
But he told police he was not paying attention when he checked out the item
on May 8, and that he hadn't checked his receipt to see if the price was
cheaper before leaving the store, according to the police report. He denied
having switched the barcodes in the other incidents. Police have also linked
a credit card he used for his eBay account to one used in one of the April
20 incidents, according to the report.
Among the items found in Langenbach's home were: 46 boxes of special edition
Magma Monster LEGO sets, 16 Sunblock LEGOs and 75 packages of LEGO Mini
Figures. Wylie said it isn't yet known if the items were purchased using
fraudulent barcodes or at legitimate prices.
Supervising Deputy District Attorney Cindy Hendrickson said the
investigation is ongoing. Although the thefts for which he is charged only
amount to about $1,000, the sophisticated nature of the crimes and presence
of hundreds of boxes of the toys in his home -- with a number of assembled
and staged for photographing -- led the DA's office to file the felony
charges, she said.
"It suggests that this may be part of a much larger scheme," she said. If
convicted on all current counts, he could receive a maximum 5-year sentence.
Meghan Mike, spokesperson for Target, said the company could not comment
specifically on the case.
"Target takes incidents of this nature very seriously, and we partner
closely with local law enforcement to help aid in these investigations," she
said.
Langenbach told police he is vice president at SAP, according to court
papers. His LinkedIn profile lists him as vice president at the SAP
Integration and Certification Center. He has 20 years of experience in the
enterprise software industry and was educated in Mannheim, Germany,
according to the LinkedIn profile. He could not be reached for comment.
He appeared in Santa Clara Superior Court in Palo Alto on May 22 for
appointment of an attorney, and will return to court June 20 to enter a plea.
