Why call the telco?  The Telco is not law enforcement.  The Telco will
probably just tell you to file a police report, and use the Call Trace
feature on your phone line.  When, and only when, the police request the
information for the Telco will the telco provide the results of the Call
Trace to the police.  It is then up to the legal system to take action.
