well in worse case scenario the police would temporary confiscate his pc, then he would have to bring proof of ownership, then his pc would be released,
it is a bit annoying that one have to run around but not an impossible task

but in case of 2142 there is an easier way where one can proof ownership

if you have internet: simply log in to ea.com, click on "get in ea nation", then "log in", "account info"
and there is all the info the police will need even before any trouble would happen

or if you don’t have internet access on the lan party, probably a copy of purchase receipt will do

although so far I know on a lan party if there is a razzia just about every computer there will have some illegal software, so far I’m informed the police will only confiscate pc’s if there is large amount illegal activity going on, a few suspicious games/programs they would let slide – to much paper work for very little chance of prosecution

and for the mater of fact there are tons of guys on lan parties who love to disappear with other peoples goods, the chance of that is much higher then a razzia
