Default Sherlock Holmes: What an amateur!

Well, thought this was an interesting find.

Apparently, police in Finland are attempting to link a car theif to the crime via DNA found in a mosquito that was found in the stolen vehicle.

Personally, even if you know the guy did it, the mosquito seems circumstancial at best (particular given that the theifs alibi was that he was hitch-hiking and the owner gave him a ride).

This is the line that really struck me:

...For a car theft! There's no mention of murder or violence of any sort. That's dedication ... I can't imagine having a DNA test run to prosecute a car theif here in the states.
