It's a Laburglary! $7,000 worth of Labubu dolls stolen from LA store
Briefly

The popularity of Labubu dolls has led to a burglary at a store in La Puente, Los Angeles, where thieves stole inventory valued at about $30,000. Joanna Avendano, co-owner of the store, indicated that the burglars specifically targeted Labubus, suggesting a planned act. A suspicious truck was seen parked outside the store on the night of the break-in, and it's suspected that the burglars monitored the store's social media for a recent restock. The resale market for Labubus has seen dolls priced as high as $500, creating a demand that has fueled the rise of a black market for counterfeit versions.
The craze for the Labubu dolls has surged among children and adults, leading to a burglary where thieves stole around $30,000 worth of inventory from a store.
The burglars appear to have targeted Labubu dolls specifically, bypassing other merchandise, indicating that the break-in was likely premeditated.
