At least yours dusted the house. When my car was vandalized right in my
driveway, I showed the cop a part of the radio mounting kit which could
only be removed by grabbing it in a way that guaranteed good contact for
fingerprints. He said "Wouldn't be much point in checking for prints
unless the thief had a prior arrest". And.....?


That's something like what the young cop said to me. he said since my van
had a textured steering wheel it wouldn't likely yield worthwhile prints.
Guess we're too hooked on NCIS, CIS Miami etc.
Cop said he could get the Ident Unit up, but I remembered a newspaper
story of them taking 3 or 4 days to show up for a house break-in.
We have a little drug gang style war going on.. with shootings, arson, the
odd killing etc.


Ah....your draconian gun control measures have been a big help. :-)
