A robbery has taken place in the virtual world of Habbo Hotel. The BBC reports that hundreds of Habbo residents have reported that their virtual furniture was stolen during the heist.
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.
The virtual thieves apparently used a type of phishing scam to steal user's passwords and then took their virtual belonging. Some people lost as much as $1200 worth of virtual items.
