Zap!

Reggie has been watching the City Museum all day.  As night falls an [oddly shaped] crescent moon hangs low in the sky, illuminating the landscape.

Though he is fairly certain, he wants to make sure that a trap has actually been set.  Reggie knows that they LCPD wouldn't be as obvious enough to set a visible trap.  Thus, he knows there as an invisible trap.  As he hides in the brush near the City Museum, he looks around for a way to test his hypothesis.

Reggie finds a hedgehog in the brush and throws it at the door to the museum.  Zap!  Just as he thought.  Once-invisible lasers light up as the hedgehog passes over the threshold.

A sheisty heist.

The LCPD put its plan into motion by putting two undercover agents--Allen and Beth--out on the street,  The two dress as dealers of antiquity and drive a posh convertible filled with ancient artifacts to the City Museum.

They hope to lure Reggie and his crew out of hiding with long-hanging heist fruit.  But Reggie, having eavesdropped on the LCPD's plans, know this is a sheisty heist.

Where's Reggie?

Sergeant Hurley decides he must act in order to save the jobs of his men!  He starts by organizing a meeting with his best and brightest ace detectives and leaders.  They talk for hours and a plan begins to formulate.

The men in blue are so excited (and so lazy due to the lack of crime over the past months) that they don't even notice Reggie, who listens to the plan and is aware of the trap the LCPD is going to set for him.

Nothing.

It has been nine months since there has been any crime in LEGO City.  The LCPD officers have been playing tiddlywinks at the station and they're starting to become scared.  With no crime going on, they've no criminals to catch.  And with no criminals, they may soon not have jobs.

The streets are nearly empty but for the LEGO City police, who have taken to spending their time searching for crime in the City Square.
