Jeremiah Gilliam of the Bronx has been arrested today after police officers found dozens of laptops, GPS devices and video game consoles in his apartment. How did the cops find him? Because he tried playing one of the stolen Xbox 360s online and signed in using the Xbox Live account saved on the system.

Luckily he wasn't caught uploading mp3/video's then he would really be in a lot of trouble. At most he will get a slap on the wrist and no fine.
That is how the justice system works.

Grand larceny is classified as a felony in new york with the concomitant possibility of a harsher sentence, so no it will not be a slap on the wrists

Compared to being caught uploading mp-3's, it will TRULY be a slap on the wrist.

The odds on that happening were ridiculous! The look on the guy's face must have been priceless when his tag came online.

No more retarded comments please.
Slap on the wrist..........No.
Just because the justice system often does NOT work for serious cases doesn't mean that a concrete case with concrete evidence such as this will result in a "slap on the wrist". This isn't Holland.
Now wake up and smell the reality coffee. Grand larceny is anything over 5 grand and this is WAY over 5 which will stick him in prison for a couple years at least. Maybe he'll get out after 1.5 years.
"How the justice system works"........pppffffftttt

Using a proxy............thanks. Now we all know and so do others who might try to find you if you're doing anything illegal. In fact.........if you are, they'll start searching now and "Ip based in Europe" will not help you smartass. Besides........proxies rarely work as they state but I'm sure you'll adamantly say yours does and switches every...............what...............second??
Nonsense.

Doens't matter as a static IP is still asigned to you from somewhere. Technology has made it so that investigators can trace through the root signal and IF you're using an ISP that performs this for you then, well..........no ISP has enough physical resources to issue a different IP address every half second. You will recycle over and over leaving you vulnerable and proxies only a "nuisance" to investigators.
Let's pretend though. You'd go through 172800 IPs a day or 63 million a year. Companies the size of Comcast maybe but they ain't doin that.

Yeah, there are some people that don't know much about encrypting their wi-fi...I never had the need to, but it would certainly be no problem, plenty available in my vicinity...Even more when I tested a Sunday DIY project, a nice cantenna..

i wouldn't waist my time with a proxy. my IP is Dynamic not Static so it switches about every 2 weeks.
i was making a statement, but your character is really shrewd.

Wardriving is more dangerous than texting while driving. Build a double biquad dish with a stepper motor base and you can scan from home!

Here's how it works:
ISP gives you your dynamic IP that you have for the next 2 weeks. You do something illegal and that dynamic IP is logged by whoever is hunting you down. They go to your ISP with the IP address and date/time it was used. ISP looks at its logs and determines it was you. Using a proxy? Well then, they go there first and follow the same procedure.

That realy depends on the proxy...the good ones are completely anonymous...to the point that they could not help law enforcement if they wanted to. If you think your IP has already been compromised, you can set your wifi router to not have a password...that way you can always claim that it was a war driver or a neighbor.

Anyone who breaks into someone's house is human garbage imo. They should take this guy out back and shoot him. I'm glad he got caught.
I have to say that i'm honestly shocked that the Afterdawn community didn't come out in support of the burglar and say that his privacy was violated by using his IP address to track him. I'm even more surprised that an article mentioning an ISP didn't somehow end up as comment wars about bandwidth throttling or something along those lines.

Do you need a glass of water, a muscle relaxant or something, to regain your composure?)))
