Pet Society Home Ransacked, Italian Police Investigating

A Palermo, Italy woman’s virtual home in Pet Society, the social pet Facebook game, was recently burgled. Paintings, mirrors, carpets, a jacuzzi, a designer sofa, a billiards table, and an aquarium, items she’d spent around $139 to obtain, were missing. Only the cat remained.

If this were a hackers movie from the 90s, the group responsible would be a crack team of misfits, malcontents, and one attractive girl in a hoodie with a nose ring and a pixie haircut hunkered down on oversized laptops projecting their avatars into “Cyberspace.”
