Teen Arrested for Virtual Burglary
Dutch police have arrested a 17-year-old gamer for … stealing virtual furniture from the online community and game Habbo Hotel:
The game, which has individual communities in 31 countries and a yearly turnover of £3 million, allows players to create virtual characters, or Habbos. These characters can take their own rooms in the hotel, which they can then decorate with their own furniture.
The furniture is purchased with special Habbo credits but the credits are paid for with real money.
The teenager had hacked into the accounts of other Habbo community members and taken their furniture and put it in his own room.
The 17-year-old has been charged with hacking and burglary.
