This article will show you how to distinguish if an item has been recategorized.
Instructions
Click on the Requests tab:

Filter the data in the left column to the set of requests you want to analyze; for example, if you want to look at requests in a specific category for all time, make sure you select the category and all statuses Open, Acknowledged, Closed, and Archived:

Note:
Save or clear this set of filters by selecting Save or Clear at the bottom of the column.

Search for the term Recategorized in the left-side filter column in the Requests list. The full-text search will find the matching requests because that is used in the standard recategorization message.

Note:
You might get all false positives along with that if someone used that term in a comment or description, for example.
