To answer your questions: This is not a joke or prank. This really happened. I already hired an attorney two days after they took my computer. (They took it on a weekend.) I have very few technical details about this case, as neither the police nor my ISP would tell me any (or even understood any.) In addition, my attorney has advised me to provide as little specific information as possible so the authorities cannot prove that these are my emails. (I don't want them to try and use these emails against me.) My ISP is... er, I mean... was Bytehead at www.bytehead.com Thanks you all for your ideas and assistance in this problem.
