Silicon Valley tech exec accused of Lego thefts


A Silicon Valley tech executive is scheduled to appear in court on charges he put fake bar codes on Lego sets to buy the toys at steeply discounted prices.

Santa Clara County prosecutors Monday charged Thomas Langenbach of San Carlos with four counts of burglary in connection with the alleged thefts at multiple Target stores. He is set to be arraigned on Tuesday.

Authorities say Langenbach covered over the original bar codes with his own bar code stickers to get a cheaper price. They say he made thousands of dollars selling the pilfered sets of colorful toy bricks on eBay.

Langenbach works for German software giant SAP. His LinkedIn profile lists him as a vice president in a Northern California division. Attempts to reach Langenbach, who is free on bail, were unsuccessful.

  2. Sociopaths are rewarded with high paying jobs as executive because they are ruthless, back-stabbing, untrustworthy scoundrels and yet in America we continue to crush moral, normal people and encourage psychopaths to be more psychotic to drive ever more pennies out Wall Street con-games. America this is your wake up call their are only 236,883 that need to be ended for us to have the country our founders promised.
