If I had some btc laying around, I would prove to you that you cannot trace coins for longer than 24 hours, if someone does not want you to.  This guy is just a moron.

I don't have the resources to conduct an extended chase and have no interest in doing so. But if you really want to trace them, then there are several ways to do so. As a first step, you can post the transaction IDs here in Bitcointalk, for everyone to see. You can alert all the major exchanges (including localbitcoins). That will make sure that the thief is unable to exchange the coins for cash, at normal rates.
