Quote bewildered="bewildered"Please can you conference me in on your phone call to the police to report him for the slander offences? I could do with a chuckle and I've always wanted to hear a police officer chuckle too. Kinda reminds me of that Big Bang Theory episode when Sheldon calls the police to report a theft on his World of Warcraft account.'"
TBF, it's not slanderous. It is, however, libelous (unless, of course, he did actually steal them!). This would not require a call to the police, as it is a civil offence and not a criminal offence but would be a case for lawyers to pursue - as Lord McAlpine demonstrated recently against twitterers.
As for the WOW reference - virtual assets can be subject to legal protection, I'm sure I read recently about a prosecution for theft of virtual assets.
When all said and done, it's a bit pathetic to accuse someone of theft behind what you think is a cloak of anonymity (warning - it isn't!!).
