There is no magic to be found in this Harry Potter story.. This is just a DUMB muggle criminal story.

An employee of the Harry Potter studio tour in England was caught stealing more than $48,000 worth of magical HP merchandise to sell on EBay.. 

According to CNN, Adam Hill, the muggle/criminal, was caught after colleagues noticed the items accumulating under his desk including wands, ties, badges and key rings from the Warner Brothers Studio stockroom.

Upon further investigation, Adam sold the merchandise between December 2017 through March 2018 from HIS OWN EBay account and sent the items from HIS OWN local post office.. 

It gets worse.. Adam later decided to use HIS COMPANY'S mail room to distribute the stolen items.

According to CNN, an internal investigation found that Adam had sold 1,040 items of Harry Potter items through his EBay account, and had 12 more packages ready to mail in his car, including several more pieces in his home getting ready to ship. 

TALK ABOUT A DUMB MUGGLE.. Muggle is Harry Potter lingo, a person with no magical powers if you don't know what I mean..

The muggle pleaded guilty to theft by employee in November, and was sentenced to 14 months in prison suspended for 18 months and 250 hours of unpaid work on Friday.
