"Burglar doesn't flush, leaves his DNA ."

Front page teaser of the day, over on CNN. Video, with ad. If the homeowner had flushed — the instinctive reaction — the burglar would not have been caught

The Case of the Burglar's Excrement. Somehow I doubt that Sherlock Holmes would ever have been involved in this crappy of a case.

"The case of the Burlar's Excrement"--is that like on south park with the case of the urinal duece?

Couldn't they also get DNA from saliva on the cigarette butt, if he left it behind?

I was robbed in my first apartment, and my burglar too went into the fridge. He also left a huge steaming pile of shit just outside the back door.

Heck the cops didn't even take fingerprints back then. They did mention, however, that it was very common for burglars to leave excrement near the crime scene.
