Recently I helped a friend tracking the robber of his skrill account. It's scary the amount of info that you can get from somebody that has been slightly sloppy. A tiny trace in google was enough to get sufficient info to lock him up.

Unfortunately that will just teach them to do it better. The important thing is that they are usually sloppy so if you are resourceful you will be able to take care of yourself.

Unfortunately you are right. But the difficult part is not even getting the info, making the police to catch the usually 'petty thief that lives abroad' is. On small robberies burocracy will defeat you before you get your money back.
