Real stealing going on in a virtual world

With a few innocent clicks, Timmy Easter of Gilbert lost all of his Christmas money in a virtual world set in Medieval times.

It's a place where the 11-year-old boy can feel and act much older by fighting enemies and gaining points and power each time he does.

Timmy is high level player in an internet game site called RuneScape. But recently, Timmy learned this virtual world is full of some real life dangers. (Culture, PC, Runescape)
