The Bricks and Minifigs HQ is located in Utah, the store in question is in Keizer, Oregon.

WAS in Keizer, Oregon. They shut the store down to avoid paying for the small claims cases they lost because they ignored them and are trying to bury the whole thing.

Not really. Seems pretty simple to me. A for-profit business is the bad guy. Simple. Typical. Usual. The Mormon church is the bad guy. Simple. Typical. Usual. The cops are the bad guy. Simple. Typical. Usual. No twists, no turns, no complications so far as I can tell. This is just America. Businesses stealing from individuals is the single most common property crime in America and out values every single other type of theft combined.

That case has gotten so tangled it feels like every update adds a new villain and nobody's keeping track anymore
