Identify them and then what? If you haven't got any witnesses to accompany the photo, it is useless as evidence. Running around masked with a cardboard box full of stuff is not a crime by itself.

I don't know about this site, but the photos in the UK newspapers are released by the police - so they are probably linked to evidence on that person. So if you could identify someone the police would just have to find them.
