Use APRS.FI to locate them, fix & hound to pin point them, then report them to the authorities?

TP their home?

Leave a flaming FCC in their lawn in the middle of the night?

LoL....

The last two I was just kidding...

It isn't me :-)
I attach a print screen 

Maybe it's a mistake 😔 

It is possible to make APRSdroid app 
to request login to aprs.fi to upload the data 

Thank you very much 
Best wishes 
Alex

Alex,
This is a very old issue with APRS.
The only effective solution is for YOU to use the exact call sign and SSID yourself. If you can set up a radio or app to send out a position every x minutes. They will have to try to figure out what the problem is. Use a fixed position in the mountains or any ridiculous place.

Best of luck to you,
Tom, W3TMC
