The force wasn't with him
A Mexican citizen suspected in the killing of a man who tried to pay a debt with Star Wars action figures has been deported. US Customs officials say Pablo Christian Larumbe Rojas, 34, was turned over to authorities in Mexico at a San Diego-area border crossing. Rojas was arrested earlier this year in connection with the slaying of Carlos Palomares Maldonado. Maldonado owed criminal associates of Rojas about US$3000 (NZ$3442) and offered to settle the debt by trading his Star Wars figures. Maldonado disappeared after going to Rojas' home in Mexico with the figures in September.

No doubt appearing / appeared on eBay to help enlarge criminal bank accounts ... just watch out for those cheap figures on eBay, they may have a vengeful ghost following them.
