I want one

A Digital Piggy Bank. It has an LCD screen with a guy on it that thrives when you put more money in. Sad, but somewhat cool. It's like Tamagotchi but you actually have to nurture it with real funds.

I'd find it incredibly frustrating. What happens when you raid the piggy bank? Does old mate call the Police to report the theft? Does he get to put in an insurance claim?

Does he die? That might be fun to see. In a sick kinda way.

The article implies that he can die - apparently he start off in a shoebox and progresses to a luxury high rise.
This raises more questions:
Can he be plunged into poverty again by means of unfortunate accident? Can someone steal his identity and raid his accounts?

A classic comment on the site where I found the article:
what happens if you fill it up too fast? will he eat too much, get a mansion and a trophy wife?

I bet he cries.

and I wonder if he's eligible for government assistance? Tax breaks?
