Gold pieces in Old School Runescape are intangible property within the meaning of section 4 of the Theft Act 1968. They are not pure information, are rivalrous, have ascertainable value, are bought and sold, and can be the subject of dishonest appropriation. The criminal law definition of property is broad and not constrained by civil law limitations or contractual terms. Accordingly, gold pieces can be stolen and are capable of being the subject of the offence of theft.
