A South Korean student is being held by Kyoto police for stealing another student's online game items. The Korean student obtained the other's password and then logged on, taking 24 items from the RPG game Lineage 2. The South Korean police have been called in to assist with the matter, making this an international incident.
Uh, hello. Like, he stole fake things. Is that a crime? Better not take some kid's imaginary friend. The fuzz will lock ya up forever.
Update: Kotaku reader Brad pointed out that it wasn't the fact that he stole the MMOG items that caused the fuss. Rather, it was that he logged onto the network with another person's password. Does this mean that stealing stuff is a-ok, and logging on with a stolen i.d. is a no-no?
