My LEGO Was Stolen 

Lawyer up

@@orangepeeI100we’ve considered that as well. As is the issue with everything, lawyering up costs more money than we have. We are making sure that there is a paper trail. Everything has been reported to the proper channels. Thank you for your comment!

the apartment complex is 100% responsible for the security of it's buildings, lawsuit in the making for sure

You may provide proof of ownership if you don't have pay checks but have photos and videos of what you owned if you have them, also with evidence of current market value or same items.

Get a ring camera 📸

This!! Really good advice

Probably not bricklink unless they know their shit so eBay is gonna be your best bet

@@midit20 I want to add Mercari to that list, as well. You can most likely see them on local listings.

absolutely. inside job

This!

Like that will actually do something 😂

@@ChampionMindset02 I got my stuff back because I noticed my stuff on sale on the pawn shops website

@@ChampionMindset02if the thief went to them to see the value, the pawn shop would recognize them and do action

the thing is you dont need keys, locks can be picked. depending on the type maybe very quickly in seconds. its really not a high skill barrier either... locks are false security, what helps is a security unit with cameras for access points.

@@varsityathlete9927yeah but you can’t lock the door from the outside can you?

@@samcer1002 depends on the type of lock, if it was a padlock it would just need snapping shut, most doors you just pull shut to lock them, though some locks would need a key to lock them and I don't think those can be locked with a pick.

blame the lockpickinglawyer videos

Every storage unit I ever been too has a foot gap up top between the roof and the wall, people I know would rent one and then spend nights crawling to others stealing stuff

Yeah, how did the theif know this stuff was there in the first place?

The fact the storage unit was locked but broken into is the key. No one is going to re-lock it after stealing from it. And what thief is going to take the time to go through the sets while stealing. They would just take all of it to save time to keep from getting caught.

This guys a youtuber tho. This video alone has 30 k views. Could be anyone who looked him up found out where is lives. So fourth.

@@oldman-zr2ru Maybe it took a few trips so they locked it intending to come back for more?

Just the fact that when you went there the locker was locked, dude something smells bad... If your a thief you don't normally lock the door after.

same here, i actually didn’t have any insurance for my stuff at the time and it was right before christmas (i had just bought a bunch of new stuff like consoles and tv etc) lost like $3-$4k of stuff and was definitely one of the worst days of my life, this was like 5 years and a half ago at this point

Same a while back 2 dirt bikes and 1 real bike were stolen out of my yard and the police wouldn’t do anything about it

State Farm is being really particular with the sets and won't accept photographs. If they did it would solve a bunch of the problems with the claim. I will still be collecting photos in case we are reassigned to a different agent or claims analyst. Thank you!

Insurance is a farce. I had my toys wet from a severe rainstorm. They asked for photos of everything only to be told they would short end me with about $500 for it all. I said screw that and sold them all on ebay ..without the boxes!

This is legitimately interesting to me. What company did you use for this and are you located in the US?

Most companies sell a Personal Articles Policy designed to protect high value items/collections that typically have limited coverage otherwise under renters/homeowners policies.

@@IllinoisCentralBrick yes 💯 that's what I have

@BravoBricks yes I live in Massachusetts and it's a personal articles policy

My insurance didnt do @#$& when my toys in my attic got wet due to a severe storm!

You’re very kind. It sucks but I’m definitely looking at the positives. Thanks for stopping by!

​@@BravoBricks just wanna say I'm sorry but some parts of this don't add up. It may not have been secretly done (I'm not accusing you of lying) but a lot of ppl have given ideas as to how this happened. You should look at them. I wish the best for you

Thank you friend. It absolutely is! It’s a set that will mean more to me than most others going forward. The one that got me out of a funk.

@@BravoBricks that set will be your Special! Looking forward to happier Lego stories on your channel. Subbed!

Every storage I ever been in you jsut need to get into one and your able to go into ALL

Oh gosh that’s awful. A really neat and expensive set!

@@BravoBricks Yeah, it upset me to no end when he told me about it. Some people are just messed up.

Completely agree. Everything will remain hidden from now on. They definitely knew it was there.

😢😢😢😢

Thank you so much for the comment. I hope they're caught too. We don't know who the detective on the case is yet.

That's a great way to put it. I appreciate your comment, friend!

The problem is, unless you have special insurance designated for “collectibles” or similar, the insurance company is at best going to cover it for original purchase price (and not inflation-adjusted), and more likely only cover it for depreciated value. Which for a 20-40 year old Lego set is gonna be a small fraction of the original price. :-( Basically, if you don’t tell the insurance company when getting your policy that you have stuff that’s more valuable than what they consider “typical”, they won’t cover it at higher than that rate when you make a claim. This mostly gets those of us with valuable collections of “inexpensive” stuff, like toys and Lego and books, but the same would happen if you had expensive jewelry you hadn’t told them about ahead of time or an expensive bicycle. Insurers will insure almost anything, if you pay them enough, but they want to know ahead of time how big a claim might be. Which isn’t always a reasonable ask, IMHO-my Lego collection I can give a reasonable estimate of replacement value. My books? Ugh, not a clue. [which reminds me I need to check whether our policy is covering our “extra” stuff]

insurance companies are not a free money tree, you have to read closely the contract you sign.

@@natbarmore with rare books ive seen they quote, 500 books at 5 dollars each or something. in reality value 50-100k as you say you need specific type of insurance for those items.

He still has to have proof he had the sets to begin with

Welcome to the channel! Thank you for your comment.

thanks friend! Wowza that’s amazing! The support from this video has been amazing and heartwarming.

There is no S in LEGO..... LEGO is always an adjective. So LEGO bricks, LEGO elements, LEGO sets, etc. Never, ever "legos."

Also I feel like if the landlord has a spare key? You should try to get a court order to search their house if that even legal idk, maybe I’m just hopeful thinking

Thank you, Friend. I appreciate it.

Thank you friend. Positive vibes going forward from here!

That’s terrible! I’m sorry you had a similar experience.

Definitely a blessing in disguise. I hope that kid likes LEGO! lol.

Luckily lego is plastic, so only lost boxes and instructions

I've seen sets get stolen by customers and employees. It's getting really bad.

Thanks friend. I appreciate it.

@@BravoBricksno problem

I appreciate it friend! I hope so too!

I think so too! It was the Maintenance worker.

Hello! I appreciate the offer but I have other sets I haven't opened and there are people way more deserving than me. You're very kind to offer that.
