I saw this thread in General Gassing, and it took me about 2 hours to follow it through. My thoughts are:
1) The power of the internet is become quite scary
2) If the cops got off their fat ones a bit earlier they could apprehended the idiot immeditaley being as he was dumb enough to park it outside his house
3) I'm glad he got his car back
4) Their servers took an amazing beating, I liked the mod saying he had four servers ready incase.. then they fell off the network completely - another moment.

The Lotus forum I used to frequent found a video of three *scumbags* jumping up and down on a roof of an Elise in London at 6am on Youtube. The catchline was "what to do when bored in london...".
Managed to track down all three of them, get full personal details, job information, reg numbers of cars, addresses - the lot. In fact the hardest thing was tracking down the owner of the elise that was vandalised. All handed over to a BiB (also a member and car enthusiast) and as far as I'm aware all three have been procecuted by the CPS.
Another case was on a scooby forum - guy bought a Wii from ebay but never received anything except a mail from the seller going "ha ha ha - I'm in holland what are you going to do about it". Well scooby boys kicked into action and again found out everything about her (including some rather good photos), family, london address. Turned out that one of them had interviewed her for an accounts position. Did turn a bit weird when it was revealed that she and her family are (or were) scientologists and they don't aprove of follower commiting fraud.
Just do a google search for your own user name and you'll be surprised/horrified what turns up!
