Dr Roger Leng, a lecturer on criminal law from the University of Warwick, said the law has no problems treating the INTANGIBLE as valuable.
"It's certainly possible to steal INTANGIBLE property. It's possible to steal any form of property right which is not represented by tangible objects," he says.
The most common form of INTANGIBLE property that many of us lose is the credit balance in our bank accounts.
