Police in Huddersfield, England are using Miis to find the owners of a stolen Wii recovered during an arrest earlier this month, the Huddersfield Daily Examiner reports.

Sixteen Miis stored on the console have given authorities clues as to who the console may belong to. The report included the names Seb, Pheebes, Nicks, Ellie and Evie among the roster. Police are hoping that by revealing the names as well as the system's unique Wii code, the victim will step forward to reclaim his or her property.

"The Nintendo Wii looks new and is thought to have been stolen before January 1. It may have been a Christmas present," they said. "If anyone has devised these characters listed and the Wii has gone missing, then please contact us urgently."

The alleged thief, a 32-year-old man, faces several charges and will appear in court near the end of January.
