Thief Steals Virtual Amulet and Mask From 13 Year Old Boy
A 13 year old boy was beaten up by a ruthless Dutch thief, who then stole his virtual amulet and mask. The thief used a knife to threaten the boy who then parted with the items he won from the Runescape fantasy game.
The Dutch Supreme Court put the thief on 144 hours of community service. The nature of the crime is one of the few cases that have ever been taken to court. The defendant’s lawyer argued that the items were not tangible and had no financial value. The court however found that the items had intrinsic value to the boy; because of the energy and time he had invested to acquire the virtual objects.
The thief had an accomplice, who was playing the game at the time of the incident and he picked up the items assuming their ownership.
