Most local police departments are ill equipped to get involved in internet nonsense. So if you are going to do anything, you would probably have to sue civilly. That means to find a lawyer who would be willing to screw around with it. Then, you have to identify the person (name, address) who is the hacker. Lotsa luck! The cyberuniverse is populated by horses' butts who hide behind fictitious names, etc. They are brave because they are anonymous. The short answer is that unless there is some major theft of money, etc., you will not be able to do anything. Why put private stuff out there for any damned fool to see and steal. There is a lyric to an old song, called "Be Prepared," by a Harvard professor with a sense of humor named Tom Lehr: "don't write naughty words on walls if you can't spell." Don't put your "stuff" out there that avoids any problems. Your facebook "friends" are also anonymous, and if you needed someone to loan you $20, none of them would offer; so they are NOT friends.
