I have no idea. Maybe he thinks the guy deserves /some/ privacy (as this gets spread, people would be tempted to spam the e-mail). :P



More likely that he wouldn't want someone emailing the person telling him that he is being tracked.


Also: he may not be the thief, just someone who bought from the thief and perhaps did not know it was stolen.


C'mon, he posted the guy's photo. More likely it's so that people wouldn't e-mail him and tip him off.
