This guy who works with me found a fraudulent transaction for $200 on his visa check card. Someone used the card to buy narcotics from an online retailer.
He called his bank who gave him the ip of the person who made the transaction. His wife (who is a teacher at a local school) suspects a certain employee (who is a prescription drug addict) who works in an adjacent office to her at the school to be responsible. I performed a traceroute and it pointed directly to a computer at the school where his wife works.

He is taking the printed traceroute to the police and the school district this afternoon, to find out who was signed on to the computer at the time of the purchase.
PWNED.

IME cops are asses when it comes to ID theft. It's something they don't understand, apparently. Note, IME only, not saying this applies all over.
