They Broke Up 3 Years Ago
He broke up with his ex three years ago and they share their son 50/50.
His Son Loved Legos
His son used to play with Legos all of the time, and OP thinks they are great toys. He used to love playing with him as well.
Collecting Lego is a Hobby
OP used to collect Legos as well and leaves some boxes unopened so they don’t lose value.
His Ex’s Boyfriend Does Something Weird with Legos
His ex’s boyfriend also loves Legos and loves building and creating with them. But he does something OP thinks is weird. He crazy glues the sets so they can’t break or pieces can’t get lost.
OP Went Out of Town
OP was out of town for three days for medical reasons.
His Son Has a House Key
His son wanted to get his PS4 video game from his house while he was away so he let OP he was stopping by. OP gave him permission to go in and says it isn’t out of the ordinary and his son has a house key.
He Saw Something Shocking
OP could see that his ex’s boyfriend came to his house with his son. OP saw them both standing on his porch and saw that the boyfriend was about to walk in.
OP Yelled at the Boyfriend
OP told him via speaker that he was not allowed to go in and to wait on the porch. OP says he flinched but walked in anyway.
OP Sent His Ex a Message
OP sent his ex a text message telling her to call her boyfriend because he was going to call the police on him if he didn’t come out.
He Saw the Boyfriend Leave with a Bag
He left OP’s house with a bag which OP didn’t think much of because his son had some games so he thought he was helping him carry them out.
OP’s Son Messaged Him
His son messaged him that he didn’t realize it at the time but was now sure that the boyfriend had taken some of his Lego sets.
The Lego Sets are Valuable
OP says the Lego sets are old and two of them are worth big money.
He Called His Ex to Tell Her About the Theft
When he got home, he confirmed the missing Lego sets and called his ex. She lied and said their son probably asked him to take them so he could have a complete set for his collection. OP said it was a lie, his son doesn’t like Lego anymore and he would never steal from OP.
His Ex Asked the Cost
His ex asked how much it would cost to replace the Lego sets. OP says it’s more than their savings. In fact, it would take their downpayment for a house plus more on top of that. OP says the sets are as follows:
OP Will Press Charges
OP said he will press charges and sue them if they don’t pay him in two weeks. OP says that the price of the Lego sets makes it a felony.
The Legos Were Supposed to Pay for His Son’s Education
Although his ex and boyfriend were saving for a house which would give his son more space, OP says he was saving the Lego sets to help pay for his education or a home of his own.
Kings Castle
Milk truck Lego land train Carousel And the glued one was a Star Wars snow speeder.
Some of these are one piece of a larger set. So if you lose one of five, you lose the value of one produce plus the value of the set as a whole.
He Told His Ex He is Suing Them
OP filed a police report and has talked to a lawyer. He is moving forward with the lawsuit. He is called his ex and told her he filed charges and her boyfriend should turn himself in.
The Readers Support OP
The readers fully support OP and pressing charges against the ex’s boyfriend.
“NTA. Looking at it from just a monetary value, I don’t believe your friends would be saying the same if he had stolen $XX amount of money. He shouldn’t have entered your house without permission and he shouldn’t have stolen the sets. He broke the law, he faces the consequences of his actions. Its about as simple as that.”
“The man is a thief, plain and simple. He committed a felony and needs to face the consequences for his actions. Also, there’s no way he didn’t go in there for the sole purpose of stealing those sets.”
