Why don't you try contacting a law enforcement agency, and let them handle it from there on?

This is terrible advice. Do not talk to the police. You have nothing to gain and everything to lose. Contact a lawyer.

What they did is a crime, going to the police to say "hello I did a crime!" is a legal darwin award.

You can contact the police anonymously, or through a lawyer.
