Drunk Insane Costume Shop Owner vs. Reporter... WHO YA GOT ?!?
Posted by Patrick Alan Coleman on Fri, Apr 10, 2009 at 2:07 PM
Part Two in the WHO YA GOT ?!? Friday™ series. Sharing an office with Sarah Mirk and Matt Davis, I can't tell you how many times the two intrepid Mercury reporters have come back, nearly in tears, after interviews like this:
Ummm... Insane Costume Shop Owner Friday?

i like that this nutcase was cyber stalking at a public library...everyone knows if you're gonna cyber stalk you have to do it at home to really let loose and get comfortable..

Comfortably traceable.
And since most libraries now require internet access tied to either your account, or MAC address logged, this was stupid of her.
Helpful advice: use someone else's wifi (change your MAC address and don't transfer any personable information as well) in a state outside of your own, and through an anon proxy, then erase the wifi logs (if any, most consumer wifi don't log very well) when she's done. The FBI would normally work on interstate crime like this, but it's so small fry that they'll ignore it unless the media gets involved.
She made up for it with the costume, I think. That threw me off.
