Same with most online theft...
Go in to a brick and mortar store, pocket something of little value and you are walked out in cuffs and heading for the police station, getting a criminal record and perhaps heading for the courts, even prison...
Buy some stolen card details online, bang em for a few £xx,xxx, even have the audacity to get the stuff delivered to your real home address and even if the victim reports it personally to the police you'll be unlucky to ever hear anything, do that over and over again, same story.
Law needs drastically updating to account for online crime.
