Back in May, SAP executive Thomas Langenbach was charged with stealing and reselling thousands of dollars worth of Legos. The Valley hotshot used technology developed at SAP to create new barcodes, which he pasted overtop the barcodes of his stolen treasures. The new barcodes were encoded with much lower prices, so he could buy the Legos at a discount and resell them online. With the beloved building blocks he kept, Mr. Lagenbach also assembled a mini Legoland inside his mansion.

Now, CBS San Francisco reports that Mr. Langenbach has officially been found guilty of one count felony commercial burglary for his Lego obsession. His defense attorney argued that Mr. Langenbach didn’t care about making a profit off of the stolen Legos, but instead just wanted to test the barcode scanning technology he’d helped develop at SAP. Ugh. It’s like beta testing is a crime now or something.

Three other counts were dropped in exchange for Mr. Langenbach’s no contest plea. Sentencing is planned for September, when the tech exec faces one month in jail, five months house arrest and three years probation.

Hey, think of all the work he can get done on his personal Legoland with all that house arrest time!
