After page 40 it turns into a slanging match pretty much, the gold seems to be between 20-40.

In New Zealand some guy nicked someones lcd, laptop and xbox360 and the idiot who took the stolen laptop of his buddy knew the net name of the guy and sent him a message telling him he wanted his stuff back he would have to pay them.
Basically the guy did similar to here posting on forums and they tracked down his live id and from that a video of him on youtube rapping (badly) so they had his face he was then identified and some how cctv footage of him with his mate trying to flog it in a pawn shop and then down to his mothers phone number and people ringing her up telling her what her son did as it turned out to be a 17 yobo.
The dude with stuff stolen got his 360 and laptop back but no lcd as they left them on his door step, lol
