Both sides of a theft are ppl, which are resident of some country.

Yes but cryptobros want to have it both ways.. 1) It's not a security so it doesnt need to be regulated 2) But also if something bad happens the law should save me

Do the police get involved if someone steals your sword in WoW? Do they get involved if a bigger Twitter account "steals" your meme and reposts it without attribution?

But which country is it enforced? The one where the thief resides or the one where the victim resides?
Assuming you can find the thief and assuming the victim even wants to talk to the authorities about how they got it in the first place.
