The internet and third party services are not your home. Never was, never will be. Run your own servers and then you can be pissed as all get out over being compromised.

You did assume it was a person hacking you, and then asked how to track them off of their IP, a wholly ridiculous notion that seems to be put forth only by media. Had you learned about networking, you would've known that most IPs are dynamically assigned and shuffled around. Also, most competent bot net creators and crackers have multiple hops or places they tunnel through so as to appear to be based at one IP when they're really at another.

You got me. Oh boy you told me so. 
Listen; to me someone hacking into my e-mail and looking at my files, deleting files, is like someone opening my door and looking at my stuff, taking my stuff. Not to mention someones safety is potentially in danger.
I'm angry and I'm not being stupid. This is serious to me. And if you think I'm acting like a tough guy, well, have fun with that. 
And you're not obligated to respond to my posts. I have posted plenty of stupid things before, go reply to those. If you're not here to help, I will ask you to leave me alone.
Let me add, I was never serious about tracking some guys IP.
I don't know what I'm doing on a computer. That was me being a smart ass.
Moros, don't take anything too close to heart.

Why ban someone when one can openly laugh at them? It's like banning pippy: Why? He's too fun to ban, and since when would we ban someone for having different beliefs?

This thread made me finally devote some time into setting up Google's "2 step verification", which is more secure than the standard username / password that you use to log in to Google products.
https://www.google.com/support/accounts/...ic=1056284
It's a pain / hassle to set up, but it is, the service is easy to use.

It's funny you mention that because I thought about this... I've done this.  How could this guy have accessed my account? By bypassing my protection software?

Easy challenge questions to reset the account? Trojan/botnet on your computer?
Oh, and there is no such thing as 'protection software'. Only firewalls for managing what goes in/out of your computer and antivirus, which protects you from obvious threats.
Most new stuff subverts common 'protection' anyway.

Nothing of the sort. I searched through all of my files... everything is fine according to my software.

If it subverted your security, why wouldn't it not subvert your integrity checks? 
Are you sure you implemented the 2 step auth process for Google Accounts? Didn't click the 'bug me only every 30 days' option?
