ISP's have laws to record the IP's dished out and to who. Anti-terrorism laws did it. You subpoena the ISP and get the info you need.
Most single home PC setups aren't on wireless. Claiming your wireless was hacked with no proof, is no different than claiming someone broke into your house (with no proof) and used your PC directly. It won't go far in court.

I don't know where you live, but here most ISP's have dynamic IP's.
Also, there is no such thing as tracing the history of an IP. Impossible to do. Even if you get the MAC address of a router, I personally don't know any site tracking the MAC address of a router. Do you know any? Same goes for the PC Micro.
Also, many home users have a wireless router nowadays. Many have their Wireless router open and not protected. I don't know where you live, dude, but here 9 out of 10 of my neighbours have a Wireless connection.
So, yes, it's very possible that any guy with a notebook can use that connection and download a torrent.
It will definitely win the case.
