Depending on how they have the addresses assigned, it may be a permanent
assignment, but that still doesn't tell you if it was that person or if
their machine was hijacked,

"If users are made to understand that the system administrator's job is to
make computers run, and not to make them happy, they can, in fact, be made
happy most of the time. If users are allowed to believe that the system
administrator's job is to make them happy, they can, in fact, never be made
happy."
