C>I had a break in a couple weeks ago in my appartment and my computer was
C>one of the things they took.  I had my computer configured to do dynamic
C>dns, and so when they connected it to the internet yesterday, I was able
C>to find out the IP address they were using and what time they were using
C>it.
C>
C>Last night they logged in again and I logged into my ftp server (the one
C>on the machine that was stollen) to make sure it was my computer.  I also
C>have apache and vnc installed on it and so I am positive that it is my
C>machine.  While they were still connected, I ran a traceroute and found
C>that my computer was in or near Reston, VA.
C>
C>I tried calling up the owner of the IP block, but they will not give me
C>any additional info (I am sure they have the phone number) since I
C>am not an employee of AOL or a government authority.  And the Durham
C>police don't seem to understand what is going on.
C>
C>Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew what authorities I could contact
C>that could pursue this information.
C>
C>Thanks,
C>Eric Kuker
