Ex-Lover deletes MMORPG Character
The jilted girlfriend, said to be in her thirties, logged onto her ex-lover's Lineage account with his username and password. Once there she deleted his game data including all the items, weapons and clothes he had collected.
Although the boyfriend did not suffer financially he reported the misuse of his account to the police. Police then reported the woman of Toyama Prefecture, to the Fukushima District Public Prosecutors Office accusing her of violating a law banning illegal access to someone else's online accounts.
Unlucky...
(PS: What a valuable use of police time!)
From here.

Has everyone given up slagging off EverCrack and the never-ending line of EverQuest widows and widowers?

Only crimes the police have to chase up is the 'illegal' trade school girl underwear...so my house mate, Aaron tells me.
