American Fork Police Involved in Viral Lego Theft Allegations Involving YouTuber
American Fork police have become involved in a viral controversy surrounding a $200,000 'Star Wars' Lego collection. The situation began when Ben Schneider, known as Reckless Ben on YouTube, traveled to American Fork to assist Bryan Mansell, who claimed his family's Lego collection was stolen by Bricks and Minifigs, a Utah-based Lego resale company. Mansell alleged that after leaving the Legos at an Oregon franchise under a consignment agreement, the corporate takeover led to a new owner in American Fork, and he did not receive his Legos or payment. Schneider's videos document his attempts to retrieve the Legos, including speaking with employees, placing banners, and filing lawsuits. The American Fork Police Department responded to multiple calls from the company's owner, Josh Johnson, leading to Schneider's arrest on charges of stalking and targeted residential picketing. The police emphasized their role in enforcing the law, not determining the business dispute's morality.
