RE: how to PHYSICALLY disable computers from any networking

["BATH, Peter" <Pete.BATH () nats co uk>]

Dear All,

After 35 years in law enforcement and security I have always found that
the whole truth very seldom comes out at the very start. 

I have every sympathy for the lady concerned but as Ramki says surely
the Police should have been informed and at the very least some form of
restraining order taken out against the "stalker". I am sure that a good
computer forensics practitioner could establish where the problem is.

No doubt some budding script writer who is part of this group will have
already started to pen a movie script which will I am sure be a smash
hit (do we all get mentioned in the credits?).

Kind regards

Peter

I am with Jon on this, also sounds too fictitious to be true.

I can't help but to think that a.) we're missing some information and
a lot of back story here, or b.) this is a fiction writer looking to
vet story ideas against pros.  Then again, I'm a cynic by nature.
It's what I get paid for. This is Hollywood stuff, not real world.

Frankly, I don't buy it.  The pieces just don't even come close to
adding up without the supposed attacker having repeated physical
access or continued and detailed surveillance.
