Using a VPN takes care of the
entire IP Address issue and virtually everyone that
does shady things online uses those.
I agree with Warnniklz, water mark your pictures.
Makes them absolutely useless for anyone else
and takes seconds to do.

Short answer NO!! Long form! They can change their IP with two clicks of the mouse, so tracking them is near impossible at our level.
How do you get a new IP address?
Click Start->Run, type cmd and press Enter. Type ipconfig /release at the prompt window, press Enter, it will release the current IP configuration. Type ipconfig /renew at the prompt window, press Enter, wait for a while, the DHCP server will assign a new IP address for your computer.
Take a kid hunting its more rewarding than shooting an animal yourself!!
Don't even get me started with that stuff.
I found once that I had a charge on my credit card to something I hadn't purchased on Amazon.
I called, and Visa looked into it while on the phone.
Here's the kicker!!!
I could either stop payment and have charges taken off "if" I cancelled my card.
If I however wanted to start an "investigation", it meant I would have to pay the charge, wait til investigation happens,
which would take 6 months (they said that), and who knows how many other charges would happen in the meantime!
The worst part, they could "see who was using my card"!!! (Amazon Account)
Yet would not disclose it to me!!???
WTF???, it was my card # and my name they were using on another account.
Canceled the card, but this meant whoever was "illegally" using my card....
"Would NOT get Investigated"!!????
People like him is why when I'm selling a gun, I have ONE picture, hosted online, with the serial number edited out. If that's not enough for you to decide if you want to buy it, move on.
I was contacted as well but had just read the warning post. Thanks to those who flagged this for the rest of us, greatly appreciated.

never did get it back . so much for the police they have speeders to catch not criminals . we have a legal system not a justice system .
the more people i meet the better i like my dog.
Pretty easy to lose faith when the police hired to protect and enforce laws don't see fit to investigate stolen property, fraud and illegal firearm acquisitions. While the police may believe these are petty crimes, try explain that Joe Scmuck that works his ass off to make a living only to lose his property to some lame, thieving prick and the only people that can help him chose not to. There are no other legal and practical ways to deal with this crap. So bloody wrong it's sickening.
