The Keizer police file, published in full: a detective concluded BAM knew, and the owners put the price of returning the collection in writing. It was an apology and silence.

PRIMARY SOURCE Keizer Police Department case KZP24020132, the complete 34-page file. Credit where it belongs: BJC pried this file loose with an Oregon public records request and revealed it on her August 7 live show; this update is our read of the record she obtained. It contains the original December 2024 report, five supplements, and a 24-page investigative case review signed March 5, 2026. Quotations are from the file.

📄 Read the actual report: Keizer Police Department case file KZP24020132, complete, 34 pages (PDF)The full record as produced under Oregon public records law: the original report, Supplements 1 through 5, the seized-evidence reviews, and the March 5, 2026 investigation conclusion. Residential addresses, phone numbers, and one safe code redacted by us; every other word as the department released it. Check everything below against it.

This is the police file on the Keizer takeover, and almost none of it has ever been public. In December 2025 a detective reopened it, spent ten weeks on it, put seven recorded interviews on tape, from the Mansell family all the way up to the company’s Chief Operating Officer, and re-read every piece of seized evidence. Inside the file: his written conclusion that Bricks & Minifigs and the man who took over its Keizer store “were informed of and aware” of the consigned LEGO collection, and that the operators “acknowledge that sets from Mansell’s collection are still there.” An officer’s warning to the new owner that the property, over $10,000, “would potentially be an Aggravated Theft I.” The owners’ own texts pricing the property’s return, not in dollars, but in a signed release, deleted criticism, and a written apology. Corporate’s private version of events, told to a detective on tape. And, at the end, one sentence from the district attorney’s office, closing it all as civil, for the second time. The detective concluded they knew. The prosecutor declined anyway. The collection is still gone. The file exists in public because BJC requested it under Oregon’s public records law and broke it on her August 7 live show; what follows is our page-by-page read of the record she obtained, and you can read every page of it yourself below.

The shape of the file

The file lists the harassment report we published yesterday, KZP25005441, as an associated record. The association reason, in the department’s own words: “Same Involved Profiles.” Same store, same people: one file for the property, one for the man who kept asking about it.

Before the details, one passage from Supplement 1 belongs up front. It is Officer Starns describing her May 2025 call with Brandon Best, the man who took over the store:

“I advised Mr. Best that if, throughout the investigation, someone is determined to have committed a crime, an arrest may occur. I also warned him that if the property amounted to over $10,000, it would potentially be an Aggravated Theft I.”Officer Jennifer Starns, Supplement 1, signed May 6, 2025, verbatim. Aggravated Theft in the first degree is an Oregon felony. That warning then sat in the file for ten months before the detective’s review, and thirteen before the second declination.

The night of the takeover, in the department’s own words

On November 14, 2024, Bricks & Minifigs corporate took the Keizer store from its franchisee, Chrystal Law, over a six-figure debt it says she owed. The store’s Ring cameras were recording, the recordings were seized into evidence, and the file describes them minute by minute. At 7:10 PM, Law is sorting Bryan Mansell’s consigned sets: “These are ones he has not been paid his percentage yet, and if I don’t have the tickets, I won’t know how much I need to pay him.” A man on speakerphone, a corporate employee both sides identify in the file only as Adam, answers her:

“So, Crystal, ultimately that is a business thing and not necessarily yours. Brandon is taking on the business and takes on all that consignment.”Ring video from inside the Keizer store, November 14, 2024, 7:10 PM, as quoted in the police evidence review of seized item JAS4. “Brandon” is Brandon Best, who was in the store taking it over. Part of this footage surfaced publicly last year and we have published from it; what is new is a police department’s own reading of it, in an official record.

That sentence is corporate, on the night, on camera, telling the outgoing owner that the consignment transfers with the store. Everything the company said afterward, that they “don’t do consignments,” that they “did not have a real way to know what was Mansell’s,” that the items “don’t belong to Mansell anymore,” has to climb over it.

Who is Adam? The file gives only a first name, and we will not assert a last one as fact. But there is one Adam in this company’s corporate structure who fits: Adam Brimhall, Bricks & Minifigs’ New Unit Onboarding Manager, the corporate job that runs store transitions, and the son of the company’s chief financial officer, Reed Brimhall. That is precisely the kind of corporate contact a franchisee like Law would know by first name while never having met Best. We offer the identification as a graded inference, not a fact the file confirms.

INFERENCEThat the “Adam” on the speakerphone is Adam Brimhall is our inference, not confirmed in the file, which records only the first name. Adam Brimhall’s roles, Bricks & Minifigs’ New Unit Onboarding Manager and son of chief financial officer Reed Brimhall, are documented fact; the voice identification is the inference. Both Mansell and Johnson independently name the speaker “Adam”; the “Kai” name floated in some commentary is not supported by the file.

Fifty-six minutes later, the second clip: Law hands over the mailbox key, the storeroom key, and the key to the safe, and Best reads out the safe code. She was escorted out by Best and, per her recorded interview, locked out of the store’s point-of-sale system, email, and accounts that same night. Corporate’s Director of Operations, Ki McAllister, was on the phone with Best while she was walked out; that detail is in the original officer’s report, from McAllister himself. And Law told the detective that corporate had informed her an individual from the Eugene location wished to view the store as a potential purchaser. Then there is her account of what she told corporate, and what corporate told her, that same evening:

“Law said that during a phone call that evening with McAlister, she informed corporate of the existing consignment with Mansell. She advised that the consigned sets were in the back of the store, and minifigures were displayed separately. She reported that she told them she had a spreadsheet on the store’s Google Docs account documenting the inventory. According to Law, she was told corporate would assume control and responsibility for all matters tied to the LLC, including the consignment.”Detective Worledge’s summary of his recorded March 3, 2026 interview with Chrystal Law (JIW9), verbatim, including the file’s “McAlister” spelling. Law is in litigation with the company and this is her account; corporate’s own voice on the Ring recording that night, quoted above, said the same thing in fewer words.

PRIMARY SOURCEAll from the file: the evidence review of the seized Ring recordings and the detective’s recorded interviews. Mansell’s account and Joshua Johnson’s account independently name the same corporate employee, Adam, as the speakerphone voice.

What the agreement said, and how loudly the store said it

The detective summarized the consignment agreement, signed November 22, 2023, in his review. You do not have to take his summary on faith: BAM itself later filed the agreement in court, and we host that exhibit. The family got 65 percent of gross, paid monthly, and these are the terms as the detective himself itemized them:

“Consigned merchandise shall remain the property of Mansell.”
“Bricks shall be responsible for all shortages, losses, or damages to items under their control and maintain adequate insurance to pay for replacement.”
“The agreement shall be binding on any successors of the parties.”
“This Agreement shall terminate automatically on January 31, 2025. All unsold Star Wars Legos shall be returned to Mansell within 10 days of termination of this Agreement in their original condition.”The consignment agreement’s key components as itemized in Detective Worledge’s case review, Supplement 4. The underlying agreement is a court exhibit BAM itself filed, hosted here with the family’s home address redacted.

Nobody at the company can claim the arrangement was obscure, because the store spent a year advertising it, and the ads themselves are seized evidence. Here is the detective’s evidence inventory describing one of the store’s own public posts:

“Post goes on to advertise the showing of one of the largest, most valuable, privately held collections of Star Wars Lego in the world. It further described how Ed Mansell purchased the item over the last 15 years and holds an approximate value of $200,000.”The file’s evidence review of seized item JAS2, describing Bricks & Minifigs Salem-Keizer’s own social media promotion of the collection, verbatim. The same evidence set includes the store’s Rose City Comic Con posts and a “We had such a blast showing this collection yesterday!” post from the November 2023 reveal.

The seized evidence includes photos of Ed Mansell, who is in his eighties, standing in the store beside his sets, and a stack of monthly receipts, September 2023 through June 2024, with buyer names, Mansell’s items circled, and monthly totals on sticky notes. We have fact-checked this consignment before, largely on BAM’s own filed documents. The police were holding the same paper.

PRIMARY SOURCEThe contract terms are the detective’s own summary in Supplement 4; the advertising language is quoted in the file’s evidence inventory of the store’s public posts; the receipts are seized item JIW3.

First the marks came off. Then the missing marks became the argument.

LEGO carries no serial number, so a mark or a record is the only identity a set will ever have. In this store the family’s property had both: a removable yellow sticker over every barcode, a white string tag on every minifigure, and, per Law, a designated consignment category in the point-of-sale system. Two former employees, interviewed separately by the detective, described the same marks; one recalled roughly sixty stickered Star Wars boxes at the time Law left.

Then it changed. Here is the passage, exactly as the detective wrote it, name redacted by the department:

“[She] stated that after Best assumed ownership, some of the yellow stickers were removed from sets. She indicated this occurred immediately after Best took over operations, though she could not identify which specific sets had their stickers removed.”Detective Worledge’s summary of his recorded March 3, 2026 interview with a former store employee (seized recording JIW11), verbatim except the bracketed pronoun replacing her redacted name. The same witness put roughly 60 yellow-stickered boxed sets and about 20 white-tagged minifigures in the store at the time Law left.

The second former employee, interviewed separately the same day, and note that her account opens with the words “After Best assumed control of the store”:

“[She] stated the items with colored stickers and tagged minifigures remained marked but were removed from the sales floor. She stated she was told the items were part of a consignment arrangement and needed to be removed.”The detective’s summary of his recorded interview with the second former employee (JIW10), verbatim except the bracketed pronoun. She also estimated about 100 white-tagged minifigures, which she believed “were later kept in the safe,” and reported that no one explained what the stickers and tags meant until after Best took over, and that under Best’s management she and another employee went unpaid for several months.

Now read the verbs in these accounts. Was told. Was instructed. Needed to be removed. Employees in a store do not receive instructions from the air. They receive them from the people running the store, and every one of these events sits, in the witnesses’ own telling, on the far side of the same line: after Best took over. Even the operators describe themselves as instruction-takers, one rung up: “We were told that if it had a sticker on it, it can be from your agreement,” Johnson texted, which places a layer of direction above the store as well. The file never names the hand that peeled any particular sticker, and we will not pretend it does. But it does not leave the authority in doubt, because a store is not weather. Marked items do not walk off a sales floor, minifigures do not file themselves into a safe, and stickers do not fall off sets in neat coincidence with a change of management. Direction is how those things happen, every witness in the file describes receiving direction, and the direction dates from the takeover.

Now read what the operators told the family a year later, in texts the police seized: “A list of inventory does not indicate where it came from. Your sets were not the only star wars sets in the store.” That is the whole maneuver, laid out in one police file. The marks were the only thing on earth that identified this property. Witnesses put their removal immediately after the takeover. And then the absence of identification became the operators’ argument for why nothing could be returned. A problem they are witnessed creating became the reason the problem could not be solved.

Brandon Best went further. Here is his position, from the detective’s summary of his recorded interview:

“Best explained that they are a second-hand Lego store, so they would naturally have different Legos and retired sets, and different things that come in, so it would be hard for them to pinpoint items. Best stated he did not observe any obvious markings, stickers, or tags in the store that would clearly identify consigned items.”Detective Worledge’s summary of his recorded February 5, 2026 interview with Brandon Best (JIW7), verbatim.

His own business partner refutes him inside the same file, twice. Joshua Johnson, in the detective’s synopsis of a recorded call: “there were strings around minifigures, and that the sets had dots on them; those were Mansell’s.” Johnson, in his own texts: “We were told that if it had a sticker on it, it can be from your agreement. We set those aside.”

PRIMARY SOURCEAll from the file: the recorded interviews of Law and two former employees, whose names the department redacted and whom we are not identifying; Best’s recorded interview; Johnson’s seized texts, quoted verbatim, and his recorded call as rendered in the detective’s synopsis. Where accounts conflict, we quote the conflict. The observation that instructions imply an instructor, and that in a store the instructor is its management, is ours; the instruction language itself, at both levels, is the file’s.

“Do you want it? Yes or no?”

In December 2025, a year after the takeover, Johnson texted Mansell. The police seized screenshots of the thread, and the detective transcribed it into the file. Here is the entire exchange, every message, nothing removed:

Strip that final message, the highlighted one, to its structure and it is remarkable. The sets they themselves marked as his and set aside as his come back if, and only if, he signs away the company’s responsibility, deletes his criticism, apologizes to the staff, and agrees his losses belong to someone else. The price of the property was never money. It was silence. And on the recorded calls in the file, Johnson said it without the lawyer’s wrapping:

“Johnson said he did not want the stuff, and it is sitting back in a locker, where it is going to stay until we fix this relationship.”
“Johnson said he would have 100% given them back to Mansel until they started being morons; he was thinking about just calling Mansell and giving them back to him.”
“He said all he knew was that there were strings around minifigures, and that the sets had dots on them; those were Mansell’s. He said that they took all of those out and put them into the cupboard, and they have been there ever since.”Three passages from the detective’s synopsis of the recorded calls between Johnson and Ben Schneider (seized item JIW6), verbatim, including the file’s “Mansel” spelling. The synopsis renders the calls in reported speech.

His stated legal theory, in the same synopsis: “the franchise agreement says the [franchisee] takes everything in the store regardless of whose it is or whose it isn’t,” the bracketed word supplied where the file’s sentence evidently drops it. Whose it is or whose it isn’t. He said that about property the detective’s conclusion calls, three times, “Mansell’s property.”

And none of this was a new mood. Seven months before those texts, in May 2025, Officer Starns wrote Johnson’s position into Supplement 1, right after noting that some items matched Mansell’s descriptions and had been set aside:

“However, due to the claim that Mr. Mansell continues to call the business despite being told not to, and encouraging others to do so as well, he does not want to give these items to Mr. Mansell. He added that he also doesn’t feel he needs to, since the store’s inventory became his once he took it over.”Officer Starns’ contemporaneous report of her May 2025 call with Joshua Johnson, Supplement 1, verbatim.

Sit with what is actually being said to a police officer there. Items the store itself identified and set aside as another man’s are being withheld because their owner asks about them too often, and because the man holding them does not want to hand them over. Wanting is not a thing. There is no version of property law, anywhere, in which another person’s belongings become yours because he annoyed you, and no version in which “I don’t want to” is a ground for keeping them. It is not a legal theory. It is just a description of keeping someone’s things, delivered to a police officer, who wrote it down.

Mansell also told the detective that Johnson had put a number on the other road: about $70,000 to get the collection back through civil court. Mansell would not sign the release. As the detective recorded it, he “cannot legally sign an NDA, asking them to hide a crime.” The detective himself emailed Mansell that the police investigation “should not influence or dissuade any decision regarding the NDA with BAM or the retrieval of the property.” A police detective, on the record, keeping his investigation clear of a silence agreement being dangled over the evidence.

PRIMARY SOURCEThe texts are quoted verbatim in the file (seized item JIW4) and reproduced above in full, in order, with nothing omitted; the call lines are from the detective’s synopsis of recordings provided to him (JIW6); the May 2025 “does not want to give these items” passage is Officer Starns’ contemporaneous report of her call with Johnson, in Supplement 1; the $70,000 figure is Mansell’s account to the detective of what Johnson told him. The structural reading of the offer is ours; every quoted word is from the file.

Corporate’s math, and what the low number buys

On February 10, 2026, the detective recorded an interview with McAllister and Matt McNeff, BAM’s Chief Operating Officer. McNeff explained the machine with unusual candor, and the detective’s summary of it deserves a box of its own:

“Part of the contract was that all assets of the store could be seized to offset the amounts owed to BAM.”
“He said franchise agreements are written to ensure that franchisees don’t do dumb things and don’t harm the rest of the franchise brand. He said they have strict, robust legal language that gives them the right to take over at a moment’s notice if certain violations occur. McNeff further explained that if the assets of the store were in excess of what was owed, they would be required to pay that money back. He said that was not the case here because the value of the fixtures and inventory was not even close to the amount owed.”Two passages from Detective Worledge’s summary of the recorded McNeff/McAllister interview (JIW8), verbatim as written in Supplement 4.

Ask what work that last claim is doing. The refund obligation exists only if the store was worth something. The man who counted the store that night, Brandon Best, told the detective he reported a total inventory value of about $17,000 to corporate. Best himself, in the same interview, put a typical store’s recommended minimum at “$150,000 to $200,000 in cost value.” The consignment sitting in that store had been advertised, by the store, at $200,000. And BAM’s own inventory exhibit, filed in court, analyzed here and hosted in full here, prices just the unsold consigned tranche at $31,339 to $49,633 at the company’s own tag prices, before the biggest sets. Seventeen thousand dollars is not a measurement anyone else in this file can reproduce. It is the number at which the duty to pay anybody back disappears.

Best’s figures do not even agree with each other: in his recorded interview he estimated the store held about $32,000, while the number he says he reported to corporate that night was about $17,000. And he offered the detective an inference from the thin count: inventory that low “would be contrary to a large consignment being in the store.” His own business partner answers that from inside the same file, in writing: “We have been holding on to what had stickers on them. We put them in the back.” The count is presented as evidence the consignment was never really there; the back room, by the operators’ own words, was holding it. Best also told the detective he thought Law had put Mansell up to the whole thing to try to “rob” the store. That theory has to share a file with the 7:10 PM recording in which corporate’s own voice hands him “all that consignment” by name.

And then there is the document this entire dispute keeps orbiting, which five different mouths in this file describe and none produce. A count of that room, made that night, exists, or at least did. Best says an inventory was conducted that evening with corporate staff assisting, and that he reported the total to corporate. McNeff told the detective he believed a document was produced showing what was in the store and its market value, that he did not know where it currently was, and that police could request it through the company’s attorneys. Law says corporate guaranteed her an inventory and that she has never received one. Johnson texted Mansell flatly: “I don’t have an inventory list of what was sold.” And the company’s outside law firm told the police it had not received an inventory list from Mansell, which is worth reading twice: the party that seized the room and counted it that same night positioned itself as waiting for the dispossessed man to tell it what it took. Nothing in these 34 pages shows the night count was ever produced, to Mansell, to the detective, or to anyone. The one document that would end every argument in this story is, on the company’s own statements, a document it made and has not shown.

On ownership, here is the detective’s summary of the Chief Operating Officer’s recorded statement, set against the agreement in the same file:

“He said that even if there were items sitting in that store, they don’t belong to Mansell anymore.”Detective Worledge’s summary of his recorded February 10, 2026 interview with Matt McNeff and Ki McAllister (JIW8), verbatim as written in Supplement 4; the “he” is McNeff throughout the passage. This is the detective’s rendering of the recording, not a quotation of McNeff’s own sentence, and we label it as such. Pages earlier, the same file itemizes the agreement: “Consigned merchandise shall remain the property of Mansell” and “binding on any successors.”

A corporate officer told a detective, in so many words, that other people’s consigned property becomes the company’s by the act of seizing the store that held it. That is not our characterization of their position. It is their position, as a detective wrote it down.

Then there is the prohibition story. In the detective’s summary, McNeff said corporate was “not aware of the agreements Law had made” and that “such agreements would violate their franchise policy”; McAllister, on the same call, that “the franchise agreement prohibits consignment agreements.” We have covered that claim: the rule BAM cites lives in documents only BAM holds. Add one more document. A Bricks & Minifigs franchise agreement that BAM itself filed as a court exhibit in an unrelated Clackamas County case lists “consignment services” among a store’s approved additional services and treats consignment arrangements as auditable business records. Law told the original officer there were no explicit rules against consignments and that corporate “had given her the green light.” And on the night itself, corporate’s own voice on the Ring camera called the consignment something the incoming operator “takes on.” The prohibition story has the company’s own employees on the other side of it, at every layer, in a police record. As for “not aware”: the Keizer store ran a year-long public ad campaign for this exact consignment, with the collection’s owner named and its value stated, and those ads sit in this same file as seized evidence.

PRIMARY SOURCEMcNeff’s and McAllister’s statements are from the detective’s summary of the recorded interview; the “don’t belong to Mansell anymore” line is the detective’s paraphrase of that recording, and we label it as such. The $17,000 figure is Best’s own account. The Clackamas franchise agreement is a public court exhibit BAM filed.

The counter-story corporate told the same police

The file records BAM’s side at length, and it should be read carefully, because you can watch a hedge evaporate on the page. The detective’s summary of McNeff’s account opens with a qualifier: it “appeared” that Mansell, Law, and Ben Schneider were “collaborating to commit fraud against the business.” Appeared. That is the whole foundation, and it is stated as an impression. But the specific charges built on top of it come with no hedge at all: Schneider, identified by the moniker “Reckless Ben,” “was hired to come to Oregon and vandalize and harass the store”; he “committed theft by creating and distributing fictitious gift certificates”; they “created a fake contract and forged the store manager’s signature”; the company was being extorted with “fraudulent and damaging videos that they have cut and spliced together.” An it-appeared suspicion goes in one end; hired, committed, forged come out the other. And that is the version that traveled: the company carried it to Keizer police and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office, in the same window in which Keizer’s own detective was concluding, from the evidence, that the company knew.

None of those allegations has been adjudicated, and the people named are presumed innocent, the same presumption this site extends to BAM’s side. Some have a real substrate: there genuinely were small-claims filings that were dismissed, and a default motion that was denied. And one got tested inside this very file. Johnson claimed Mansell “has broken the law by selling Schneider” goods he did not own. The detective asked Mansell directly and recorded the answer: no sets were sold to Schneider, “that was just footage for the YouTube video.”

ASSERTEDThe fraud, forgery, vandalism, and extortion claims are BAM’s recorded assertions to a detective, reported here as assertions, unadjudicated. The hedge-then-no-hedge sequence is visible in the detective’s summary itself (one accusation, the fictitious-names claim, keeps its own “appeared”). Where the file contains a check on a claim, we quote the check.

The conclusion nobody acted on

After ten weeks, seven recorded interviews, and a re-reading of every seized item, Detective Worledge wrote the only neutral institutional finding that exists anywhere in this dispute:

“Based on the evidence presented, it is clear that the BAM Franchise and Best were informed of and aware of Mansell’s property being present in the store on consignment under an agreement with Mansell and Law. BAM and Johnson have made recorded statements that they are aware of Mansell’s property being in the store, and both acknowledge that sets from Mansell’s collection are still there. The parties are unable or unwilling to reach an agreement, with one side claiming it is a civil matter and the other claiming it is a criminal matter.”Supplement 4, Investigation Conclusion, signed March 5, 2026, referring the case to the DA “again after I have conducted an extensive review of the available evidence and witness statements for legal review and consideration for applicable criminal charges.”

Keizer’s chief of police described this re-investigation on camera, in a meeting Schneider posted to Patreon, down to the goal of putting the file in front of the same prosecutor a second time. The answer came back three months after the re-referral, and Supplement 5, the file’s final entry, is short enough to quote in its entirety:

“On 06/02/26, the Marion County District Attorney’s Office reviewed the complete case and deemed it to be civil.”
“Case closed.”Supplement 5, the complete Action Taken and Disposition entries, June 2, 2026. That is the entire supplement: after a 24-page investigative review and a conclusion that the company knew, the file ends in fourteen words.

So line up what this newly public record actually contains. An officer warned the new owner in May 2025 that the property could be an Aggravated Theft I. A detective concluded in March 2026 that the company and its operators knew the property was there and acknowledge holding sets from it still. The men holding it priced its return, in writing, at a release, deleted criticism, and an apology. A prosecutor read all of it, twice, and sent it to civil court, the one forum where, per the recorded warning we fact-checked earlier this week, the fight itself is priced to cost more than the collection. The store wound down over the winter, went cash-only, and closed. And the two Keizer files, read together, say the quiet part in departmental cross-reference: the man who asked about his property got a warning. The company the detective concluded knew got a declination. And somewhere, by its own executives’ account, the company still holds the census of that room from the night it took the room. Producing it would end the argument. It has produced the argument instead.

What this is, and is not

To be fair, and this matters. Two declinations are part of this record, and they cut in BAM’s favor: a prosecutor twice reviewed this file, including once after the detective’s conclusion, and twice decided it is not a criminal case. BAM is entitled to cite that, and we print it as prominently as anything else here. A detective’s conclusion is an investigator’s assessment, not a court’s finding; no court has ruled on who owes what to whom, and nobody in this story has been charged with anything arising from this store. The company’s stated position has internal logic: its dispute was with Law, who it says owed it more than the store was worth; its contract with her allowed seizure of the store’s assets; and the consignment agreement itself makes the store side, Law’s side, responsible for shortages, which is why the company says Mansell’s remedy runs against her. Best’s two figures, an estimate in an interview and a number reported the night of the takeover, may be reconcilable as estimate versus formal count, and the night inventory, which nothing in this file shows was produced, may yet surface in the civil litigation where the company says these questions belong. Law disputes their account and is in litigation with the company, and her statements here are hers, not findings. The allegations BAM made about Mansell, Law, and Schneider are unadjudicated, exactly as unadjudicated as everything alleged about BAM, Best, and Johnson. What does not depend on believing anyone is the paper: the agreement that kept title with the family and bound successors; corporate’s own employee, on the night, on camera, saying the incoming operator “takes on all that consignment”; the operators’ own texts conditioning the property’s return on a release and an apology; witness accounts, in a police record, that the only identifying marks came off immediately after the takeover; and a detective’s conclusion, after reading everything, that the company knew. Those words were preserved by a police department, and as of today you can check every one of them against the file itself.
