"The procedure is simple: during a holdup a nebula of invisible liquid with a sysnthetic DNA code is spread in the space. the liquid attaches itself to the clothes and skin of the perpetrator and cannot simply be washed off. DNA-spray is practically invisible to the human eye, but lights up under UV-light. Suspects with traces of DNA-spray are easily traceble to the scene of the crime for the police."
I knew this day would come. Skunk Powers, Activate!
OMG, it's the Barbie Murders!
Sounds like an awesome way to frame someone, if you can get an inside source on the liquid.
This sounds oddly familiar (cue wavy screen)
Keep in mind that police may not actually be stupid. The penalty for mistakenly assuming that the police are stupid is typically a prison sentence.
The police will find it odd that someone you know stole something off you, that doesn't fit the usual pattern. It might work if you're friends with people who can't afford nice stuff like yours - but then what will you steal?
They will find it more odd if it's brand new, but you have no receipts, no purchase records, no documentation. On the other hand if it's old they will find it odd that so many people recall seeing the "thief" have it before you contend it was stolen, or else, that you didn't report it stolen until so long after.
You take all the fun out of poorly-thought-out high-tech robbery, you know that?
I for one welcome our giant Dutch jizz spraying overlords
And if the thieves aren't caught straight away, thanks to the retro viruses also present in the liquid police simply wait for reports of people who glow in the dark.
