I can't help but wonder: Can you look at the original email message & get the IP - then run some GeoIP? If he was irresponsible enough to do it from some public place like a University Library then you could probably look the exact address up & have a lead to give the police. Secondly, depending on if you have chrome & a "trusted" website that you provide your location to, then you can run that bit on this fool in a reply email with a link that says something like "Do me a favor & just upload my pictures folder to http://mysite.com/storage/index.html http://mysite.com/storage/index.html - the user is: johndoe & the pass is: FML123" then wait & obviously log the lat/long & go to the police. Third, if you happen to know the serial number, report it to Apple, then to the police. I say this because he is considering buying a 160gig drive & backing your data up to it - there is a small chance he would go to the Apple store to do this. Next time, consider using http://preyproject.com/ http://preyproject.com/ Other than that I guess try to get what you can from this guy without paying.
