Scotland Uses Legos to Fight Crime. For Real.

There is a certain fascination with Legos. I had my fair share as a kid. My son is really into them now and wants every set he sees on TV. There's been movies for crying out loud. A social media crime awareness campaign by police in Scotland hopes to use the popularity of Legos to fight crime.

It's called Operation RAC. They simply share "crime scenes" of Lego figures on Twitter with short messages. They remind you to lock you windows and doors and to use timers on lights and even radios. A great idea!
