This 40-year-old man scammed Target stores in 5 states of more than $100,000 by replacing the UPC on expensive LEGO sets with the one from a much cheaper item. He would then sell the toys on E-Bay for full price.

Talk about a "heist" movie just begging to be made.

If it is made into a movie - I wonder if they will use the LEGO animation like in the White Stripes video.

And of course, it should be titled "Leggo My LEGO".

Say - wouldn't that be great if the man was named Zack? You know, the LEGO maniac?

Not a heist movie. It's the plot for Punch Drunk Love 2.
