I agree with JT. I'm about 95% certain it's Swanberg in the act of pilfering
LEGO sets. The coincidence is just too great.
Because I'm a busybody with an inordinate prurient interest in stuff like this
(as well as trying to avoid doing real work), I compiled a couple of images. See
http://www.bzpower.com/kelly/legobandit.jpg for a comparison. I've also sent an
email to the AP with a question. I'm sure the police and prosecutors would LOVE
a third-party picture of the man in action. If it is indeed him, which I find
extremely likely - and it beggars the imagination to think that two similar men
from Reno were in Portland Target stores buying loads of Millennium Falcon sets
during this very narrow time frame.
