i think it would be really hard to get that person charged for the crime, maybe the mod wanted to scare him. just think about it ur stealing someones wireless signal, so the ip is not urs. lets assuming u manage to contact the police, u got to prove it. Its probably not be worth the police's time for some petty theft, they got murder, rape and other things to deal with. Its one of those crimes where the perpetrator has low chances of getting caught much like illegally downloading music. And add to that chances are the guy is in another country, which means red tape.
