From that, I would say your first step would be to call your friend who is high up in the police. He will tell you the location and other known facts of your nemesis.

The next part is the real shit. After some spying on him for a bit, you will need to take him on.

This will involve high speed car chases, aswell as a few gun fights.

You will get shot, but only in the shoulder or something.

You'll soldier on holding your shoulder, displaying signs of pain, but in a masculine way.

Your nemesis will then be pinned down, begging for you to spare his life.

You'll say something witty, then shoot him in the head.

With a sort of empty, but satisfied look on your face, you will leave area (probably a warehouse) slowly, still grasping your shoulder as flames engulf the building.

All in all, I'd say you'd be best off leaving it and learning a very valuable lesson to not leave your passwords and security questions as something easy to guess.

Questions like Where were you born? First pets name? Football team you support? Date of birth? and my full home address.

Why the hell is your first pets name on Facebook? Questions like football team you support, date of birth and where you were born are just terrible security questions...if you have those then you deserve to get hacked. Same with full home address and why that is on your Facebook is again silly.

The best security questions are those that only you'd know. E.G. if the question was "First pet".....I'd put something related so that it's easy for me to remember....but not actually my first pet's name e.g. neopets or something random like that. Almost no one would know your mother's maiden name either.

Ive never heard of anybody getting their accounts hacked because of a person looking at their facebook but when I look back at it then you really dont expect that to happen. Easy to seem why it happened when you look back and study it but nobody expects simple information like that to be used so easily against them. When I set up the security questions I didnt think about witty answers because I never forget my passwords so I just treated these questions lightly.
Hopefully this will help others and stop the same happening to them. Im going to the police anyway on Monday to file a report. All I have is the guys old facebook page that he used to hack me and his current one. Hopefully the police can talk to somebody at facebook and track this guy down because with him being in my email account I dont know what all he has seen because I use the online storage that is given to you to store some vital things

Well if it's your first pet and that's one of your security questions then (as easy as it is to forget about it) it's silly.

If you don't take security questions seriously then you're making it a lot easier for people to hack you. You would've been better off just spamming "asxfasdtgsdgwsdyf" as your answer to security questions if you don't forget your password.....a lot better than easy answers (which if they're all on your Facebook page are easy tbh)

Its obviously a lot easier to look back at it now and say this but when I made these answers a while back I just answered the questions. If I knew the account could be hacked as easy as it was then maybe i wouldnt have put my dogs real name and put ROBOFUCKBOT69DILDOFORCE instead but back when I made the account I didnt thinnk I would need these answers so just aswered them honestly. Its easy to look back once things have happened and said should have done this or this but you dont think much about it at the time

these "coins", are they of any monetary value? in the eyes of the law would this theft be seen as a crime?

i'm not on a wind up here, just genuinely curious. i guess the fact he has hacked your account is a form of fraud so a crime has been commited, but the punishment should only ever fit the crime which to my mind isn't the most heinous.

perhaps he will recieve the punishment he deserves, i doubt it will be too severe though.
