"A 45-year-old man who "blurred the line between reality and make
believe" and adopted the character of magical elf Buho from Shadowrun
to rob a Belfast lingerie store at knifepoint, has been brought down to
Earth with a two-year jail sentence, The Times reports.

Robert Boyd, of Carrickfergus, Co Antrim, told Belfast Crown Court at a
hearing in March he'd been involved in the fantasy role-playing computer
game when he slipped into a blond Harpo Marx wig, glasses, and beanie hat,
"threatened a female shop assistant and made off with bras, knickers,
suspender belts, and stockings worth œ250"."


"Boyd's defence lawyer pleaded for leniency at a sentencing hearing
last Friday, explaining his client was now a "figure of ridicule whose
life was in tatters". Judge Patrick Lynch insisted on a prison
sentence, and told the father of one: "Whatever I do to you today, you
will have to live with the consequences of your actions for the rest of
your life.""


Oooeeeeer captain....beware 45 year old elves bearing armfuls of undies......
