I'm not clear on this one point. If somebody got a hold of my private key and moved funds from an address that I claimed on the ledger, is that against the law? At what point could that be considered a crime? For example, if they hacked into my machine and stolen the private key; if they sniped the pk while snooping on a public access connection; brute forced the pk into existence; or just plane snapped a shot of my qr code over my shoulder....ect In which of those examples could I pursue prosecution for the theft of my coin?

For me, the word "hack" already sounding illegal and should require urgent crying out to the necessary authority if such happens to your bitcoin wallet.

That necessary authority you do mean doesnt exist because theres no division that do make handle on these kind of cases because they do know that it would really be a big work and time consuming thing if they would try to trace up the hacker or scammer which they would end up and saying that this is a pointless thing. In the sense that someone is hacking your wallet then its considered illegal because it is stealing but on laws it cant be considered yet as of now so once hacked then dont expect for retrieval.

Ain't there appropriate authorities ( especially in the countries where bitcoins are recognized ) that handles cyber theft issues?
Those are the authorities I'm talking about....
