The cops have told us not to touch anything until the C.S.I. guys get here, probably tomorrow morning. So we're not supposed to clear the shit off our beds to sleep in them tonight. Anyone out there think that's a bit ridiculous after an already traumatic day? ..Looks like I'm sleeping on the couch tonight.
lol, that's a joke. the next day to lift prints and leave their dust all over your furniture and carpet? you must have asked for printing to be done..because normally that's fruitless..especially when there's 4 college age guys living in a place and presumed traffic from friends. What possible good is it to get prints?
...I suppose only to run prints through the system and see if anyone with some priors shows up. They better be done in plenty of time for us to get ready for Hatton Vs. Mayweather tomorrow night though!
Bah, cops should know that in identification rings, the guys in charge of gathering data items aren't on file (have priors and therefore prints). And gathering prints is useless because they're not exactly going to compare them with your flatmates...and everyone you've ever had in the house..so as to have unidentified prints.
Usually cops dust and "try" to get good prints as a gesture to the victim to make them think they're going to catch the baddies. Unfortunately they just put all this on a document and file it.
But hey! If they catch a burglar, and you've given the police good, detailed information about what was stolen, and the burglar still has possession of items (which they don't because they're smart enough to dump them quick), it is possible to join others in a lawsuit against the burglar...but you'll never get your stuff back.
....grrrr...i hate burglars...it'd be nice to be a vigilante with no personal life (family to put at risk), and track and catch those guys.
