having worked myself in the telecom business with assistance to law enforcement I can assure that tracing back the owner of an e-mail address or simple avatar is not complex.
what is complex (costly) is getting a search warrant to access the info from the Telecom service provider , probably another one to search and seize if the location is known (not “fishing” searches…)
then come accusations, court, testimonies etc… etc.. etc…
Law enforcement are more tied up with bigger stuff , and blood cases … the rest generally becomes an insurance issue for them. “that is the way it is” like the man said.
My brother had is Mercury inboard drive unit stolen (unbolted) in a dealer’s yard waiting for service . The dealer assumed no negligence in protecting customers assets and told him to claim his insurance ? goodbye Charly……
odly enough you see lots of parts for sale on the Internet from folks who have no boats ???
Unfortunately like evrything else, the burden falls on us to have our stuff evaluated and insured …if insurance companies want to assume the risk
