casascius, you still miss the main point. For what concerns any country's justice the value or worth of the stolen "thing" is zero.
Go on a claim that one stole you 45K LRUSD, 9K BTC or go saying that your neighbor assaulted your Farmville has the same legal value: NONE.
At best qualifies for data theft, but you don't get your "money" back or any compensation... to not even mention you'll probably be accused also of tax evasion, subversive economics, parallel market...

Here in the US, nah, that's not how it works.

Otherwise, by that same logic, I should be allowed to go shoplift homeopathic remedies and Justin Bieber merchandise all day long  because most people think it is worthless crap.
