You're 'virtually' nicked!
This story cracked me up. Police arrested one 17 year old Dutch teenager and questioned five others for stealing virtual furniture from a room in Habbo Hotel. For those who don't know, Habbo Hotel is a 3D social networking site aimed at children.
The cyber-criminals did it by getting the logins of their victims through various scams. It is theft because the furntiure is paid for, and in this case was worth 4,000 Euros! The crime seems ludicrous to those who don't use virtual worlds, which just amplifies the cultural difference between those living predominantly in 'meat world'* and those in 'virtual worlds'.
*Meat World = The physical world, or the world outside of the internet.
