So, I was mugged last night. "hey mate..." "yeh?" (ubu turns around) *king hit to side of head*; mugger one grabs me by the lapel with raised fist, mugger 2 goes through my pockets. mobile phone &amp; inconsequential amt of cash taken. wallet returned, kindly. (saved some bureaucratic hassle, al-hamdu li'llah!)<br> <br> anyway, the coppers took the wallet &amp; coat off me when i reported this, to be sent for dna sampling. the only trace that could be on either would (presumably) be any sweat that they were excreting. i am assuming that this kinda thing would be as adrenalised for them as it was for me. so...what chances of dna'ing them? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.48065 Fri, 06 Oct 2006 21:11:11 -0800 ultraviolence sisterfuckingbastardspawnofcorpseeatingvultures dna UbuRoivas
