But seriously, his defense wasn't that he was LARPing but that he apparently had a complete "break" from reality. It's weird, right? It is probably the simplest explanation for doing such a totally useless crime, but on the other hand, even so it makes less sense than one feels it ought. And a Senior Lab Technician at 45? I wonder what exactly he was doing - sounds it ought be a pretty cushy life.
My favorite part was that he asked for a discount first - it really does seem like exactly the actions of a "wandering" Shadowrun PC, à la the Cluefiles.
Heh. LARP Shadowrun; it would truly be an amusing set of newscasts.
