This is similar to how the banned gambling in "Second Life". Seeing as the currency (Linden Dollar i think) can be exchanged with real money, it is technically illegal to gamble (in certain countries/states). Next they'll be taxing it.

I can see the headline "Mafia in online second life money laundering shock"!!!!

Thing is - stealing using an in-game mechanism is fine, you are playing a character. But if you went into confidence and got access to someones actual account information and then stole from it, that's actually theft.
