Crime Txters

Texting seems to be the way of today, and also the future, so it's not surprising that police in the US have worked out a way to let people text in their crime tips anonymously. Texts are routed through a computer system which encrypts the originating cell/mobile phone number which makes them "virtually impossible to track". The question then, is if it's "virtually impossible" to track something which is happening "virtually" does it mean that it is or is not impossible to track?
