More of a proof of concept. Can it be done, kinda thing. From my research seems fairly involved and has a low chance of success. I could be wrong though. Check the logs, find the remote ISP, contact them and somehow get the location info, see if the police there aren't busy, hope the location is not random.

But you will likely need to cooperation from the ISP and local law enforcement on the other-end.
