Four or five years ago your perception would have been
accurate. In the last two to three years their interest and expertise in
pursuing computer crime has expanded exponentially. Unfortunately, their
budget doesn't always allow the manpower to follow every lead, but if you
can provide solid, well-documented evidence, and substantiate a loss they
will work with you.
I am pleased to say that in my former life as an IRC network admin
I was a contributing factor to two people going to prison for computer
crimes. It is a very satisfying feeling, especially combined with helping
a few of the people he cracked along the way buy a clue or two. :)
