Are we seeing the next crypto currency? Lego bricks?

https://www.theregister.com/2021/12/02/lippstadt_lego_theft/

Christmas was (probably not) ruined for several German children yesterday after thieves bust through a toyshop wall in Lippstadt and escaped with dozens of Lego sets said to be worth a total of €35,000.

Despite the "picture of devastation" and metre-wide opening left in the wall, investigators are struggling to piece everything together.
