Just a local odd news that caught my attention and BBC´s too: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/10207486.stm
Thieves have struck again in the virtual world Habbo Hotel. Finnish police are investigating up to 400 cases of theft, with some members reporting the loss of up to €1000 (£840) worth of virtual furniture and other items, according to Detective Sergeant Marko Levonen. "We have done five home searches in five cities in Finland," he said. This is not the first time Habbo Hotel, which allows users to meet friends and buy virtual goods, has been targeted.
I just wonder about the comic nature of a home search for virtual furniture. Isn´t this the right time to advise them to get a (real) life?
Who doesn´t need a virtual polar bear skin?
