Let’s hope Nutter fires EVERYONE on the current staff and replaces them with some folks who know, respect, and enforce the laws. Hey, I can dream. Otherwise, I have to move to another city that actually HAS a police force, not just a bunch of donut-eating, prostitute-beating criminals in uniform like we have here in Philly.
I had something very similar happen to me in January. An Amtrak conductor stole my laptop when I left it unattended on the train (ok i screwed up there). He then went online and I tracked his activity on my computer which I can do because I have logging software on there. I got him at a couple of different IP addresses including a hotel in South Carolina where Amtrak employees rest up, the other one was his home IP address in virginia apparently.
The police were not much interested until I tracked the guy to his profile on migente.com (since deleted) where he was dumb enough to post his photo and a description of his job - probably using my laptop to do it! For good measure, I spoke to someone at migente.com who was great and promised to hang onto all of this guy’s records ready for the police - all they needed was to subpoena and they could have had it all.
The police finally seemed a bit more interested once I had the photo (the train crew manifests made it really easy for them to ID him). Unfortunately I had got fed up with waiting by then and told them I would write a press release to all the local newspapers, TV, radio etc if they didnt get my laptop back. Well at that point I started to get some real personal service and i had my notebook back within 48hrs.
To be fair, the detective who got it back was a good guy and so were a couple of the uniform cops who I spoke to, they might have got it anyway in the end. Also to be fair to them, it was not the fault of the police that the Amtrak Office of the Inspector General told me to sit tight and leave it with them (the OIG)…. for three days, then came back and said “d’uh this is a police matter”, which i thought it was in the first place! But yeah, in the end the police didnt do too bad.
The moral of the story is if you bust the criminal before they do they get to look pretty bad. Tell them you are hiring a PI to do their job for them and that you will do a press release all about how you had to solve your own case if necessary!
