How about burning the files to a CD-ROM and mailing it annonymously to the cops with the address of the perps?
I’m wondering if the files are on your pc, or if the people across the street have a folder on their PC that they are sharing.
It seems they have already deleted the files. That being the case, they’ll have to get some kind of recovery software.
http://www.snapfiles.com in the freeware section. They have many file recovery tools.
I had hoped my description of the situation would be accurate, but I am not up on all the computer lingo. My husband says the neighbors probably enabled file sharing and aren’t savvy enough to know that anyone hooked up to that network can view their files.
Every once in a while my laptop will jump from our secured wireless network to a neighbors’ linksys unsecured network. I only notice it because my internet connection will suddenly slow way down. Perhaps that is what happened here, who knows.
I wish we had thought about the CD-ROM. Good idea. Probably the only way to do that at this point is to unsecure the network and wait.
No! That would be an illegal possession of kiddie porn.
