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.

I think you are wrong here. Virtual goods do have monetary value in eyes of the law. And while I do not agree with casascius on everything on his post I do think that if no quick resolution, legal route is the most reasonable thing to do. Though, for some people from other countries it might be difficult to understand how to do it and what are the implications.

The first thing you would need to do is to prove its value, if you claim to be stolen.
By doing so you make it a tangible good or asset, so you're owning taxes for each bitcoin you create or trade.

As Justin whatever (that boy with funny hair, right?)'s merchandise would be also tax exempt... which it isn't.
