Laptop thieves nabbed with help from Mac software

I recently had an experience where i was emailing a person back and forth regarding the sale of a very expensive item i once owned... Needless to say, when we met up for the sale, the item was stolen from me, with force. I ended up checking out the source code of the emails received from the thief, and got the originating ip addresses. I tracked the ip addresses and found 3 different locations were used out of the 7 emails (some locations were repeated and all were local). This might be extremely off topic, but im wondering, can the police issue a court order to the ISP used (which i also have) to obtain the exact physical address?
