CERBERUS!
IT WILL BE EASY TO CATCH YOUR THIEF IF YOU HAVE ABOUT HALF AN HOUR TO KILL.
SIMPLY START WITH COUNTRY #1. KEY IN A BOMBING RUN ATTACK OF 1 JET. IF THIS COUNTRY HAS NOT STOLEN FROM YOU, THE GAME WILL TELL YOU THAT GDI PREVENTS THE ATTACK.
NOW, SINCE YOU'RE NOT IN GDI, THIS TACTIC IS ONLY VIABLE FOR YOU AGAINST COUNTRIES WHICH ARE GDI. HOWEVER, IF THE GAME ALLOWS A 1 JET BR AGAINST A GDI TARGET WHICH HAS NOT HIT YOU, THEN HE HAS STOLEN FROM YOU.
I DID THIS TODAY.. AND CAME UP WITH THE SAME COUNTRY THAT EVERYONE ELSE HAS MENTIONED. HOWEVER, HE ALREADY HAD SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES BEATING ON HIM, SO I DECIDED HE WAS NOT WORTH MY TIME. I HAVEN'T CHECKED ALL COUNTRIES BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE HALF AN HOUR TO KILL THIS MORNING, BUT IT ONLY TOOK 8 CHECKS TO FIND AT LEAST ONE OF MY THIEVES.
ALSO I JUST REALIZED THAT YOUR THIEF IS STEALING TECH. THIS MEANS THAT YOUR THIEF IS *NOT* IN GDI UNLESS IT IS SOMEONE WHOM YOU HAVE ALREADY FOUGHT. YOU CAN DRASTICALLY REDUCE YOUR LIST OF SUSPECTS BY LOOKING ONLY AT COUNTRIES WHICH ARE NOT IN GDI. THEN FROM THAT REDUCED LIST, LOOK FOR THOSE WHO HAD A NET WORTH CHANGE AT THE EXACT TIME THE THEFT HAPPENED. IF THERE IS ONLY ONE, THAT IS YOUR THIEF.
