People Are Forensically Aware

There. Don't say you've not been warned.

Among examples cited by the article was an increasing use of plastic gloves by burglars, and a practice reported by police in northern England in which car thieves leave cigarette butts picked up from the street inside vehicles, hoping to lay a trail of false DNA evidence.
