My Bike Has Been Leader 725 with hed wheel

Oh

No i dont know who it is

if he emailed you from a hotmail address chances are you have his IP -
might get some info from that.

It's the IP crew again..

ENHANCE.

ROTATE.

ZOOM.

ENHANCE.

can you not get info from an ip?

yes, you may be able to tell he was sat in an internet cafe when using his hotmail account. Not sure how that would help you?

it would first rule out the possibility that he wasnt - you dont know until you check, no?
the location of the internet cafe might give you some clue - you could speak with the owners and ask them for help etc.
better than sitting with gumtree and the rozzers doing nothing watching the charade going on...

I think it;s more that the police won't do a thing about it if you did have the IP. They would probably have to conact the isp and gumtree etc for permission, data protection etc or something, it's not a 'proper' crime so its not worth their time

I would try make an appointment somewhere public

do you need the police to trace an ip?

You may also just find an ISP dynamic IP address. For example, just looked up mine and it says I am in London where in fact I am 100 miles away.

Complicated things networks :-)

Johnny mate

Johnny mate sorry to hear about all this bullshit. Just read the thread, it's fucked up. Hope something useful happens.

Let's go for a ride sometime. I've not seen you in ages.

Hey Ed I will be about next week give me a shout and we can meet up.

I am not sure suggesting you go for a ride when his bike has been stolen is tactful

(am sure he has another bike)

Lets buy the bike and start some clobbering!! (I would imagine this has already been suggested, So I second that notion!) It could be like a scene out of mad max!!

do you need the police to trace an ip?

As indicated by Kerley, most internet users these days do not tend to command their own pipe inlet/outlet backing on to the over arching system of tubes known as the main frame, so IP location e.g. tracert is mainly useless in most cases, except to perhaps a cursory identification of the ISP of the user, or perhaps of his hapless final-jump-proxy (due open ports or w/e).

As I understand it, the most likely case would be that for any given IP address holder suspected of malfeasance; in the first instance you would need a solicitor to petition on your behalf to the ISP within which whose address ranges you allege the alleged perpetrator to have been resident at the time of the alleged action, for a court order forcing disclosure of his personal details, as per various bittorrent copyright infringement notifications sent by certain litigious law firms to many private individuals in recent times. (caveat: poor example)

or otherwise you would need a second point of contact to the known IP address holder, in order to socially engineering or such tricksy with a to finally other ends (such as sending a masked RAT to his direction)

In any case I wish the OP the best of luck in retrieving his bike, and apologise for the status and/or content of my post. (non-utility).

It appears they are friends. I did open my eyes widely, then bit my lip, and moved my fingers from the keyboard. You James, are clearly my psychic twin.

Clobbering??

anyone??

Clobbering??

anyone??

'I walked off the end of the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array instead:[2]

exactly what I thought....

Doesn't matter as long as you can ride it.

if he emailed you from a hotmail address chances are you have his IP -
might get some info from that.

Most hotmail users use webmail, you will get the IP of a hotmail server.

However if he uses outlook/windows mail/pine/other mail client you may get his IP

As others have said it's the last 'hop' thats hard to trace - you will get the bt exchange no problem as penultimate hop (although depending on fabric used you may not, i.e if on NTL you may get a cabinet 20 miles away or further)

Once you have the IP though you can find the ISP who bought that range

Now the problem you have is the fucker is fully aware of this thread - sending anything to that mail address that is even remotley suspect will get you nowhere

bottom line - go to the police station, harrass them - get them to do something, hastle them daily, hourly. Even if the poster on gumtree does not have your bike you need to find out who he/she is.

You need to smoke the culprit out 'The Departed' style

We are NOT going to find out who this dude is using some 70t4lly 1337 H4X0R S|<1lLz that you saw on CSI or some equally shit early 90s movie! The only way this is going to be solved is by sheer cunning, a bit of bait and switch action, and bloody good arse kicking at the end of it all.

Aaaaaaaaaaandddddddddd... Can we get this back on topic, finding Johnny's bike is more important than you lot growing your ePen0r by demonstrating to us how many times you've watched Hackers. Leave the tech shit for the popo and appropriate parties, or you can go off and show us how awesome you are by coming back with the goods (Name, NI.#, Home address, etc) , rather than spouting some rubbish you think is possible 'becuz ai saw it ina moovy innit!!11". Besides you lot are only baiting the nerds, which means this thread turns into a bourne vs cshell argie within half a page;

it was resting against the side of my car while i was looking through my glove box,I looked up and it was gone.

It took me a while to figure out how a bike can disappear from next to you in just a second or so. I realise now that you may have been busy.
I'm very slow sometimes. It's one of my numerous flaws.
