Ben Schneider, known online as Reckless Ben, is a content creator who documented an incident involving a Bricks and Minifigs franchise, located in Salem, Oregon.
The controversy centers on the store's acquisition of Bryan's LEGO collection. Ben alleged the purchase was exploitative, launched the “We Steal From Old People” campaign, and published a series of videos that spread widely. A GoFundMe was created to help Bryan recover his collection. The American Fork Police Department also became involved and published their own video.
