Next time something like this happens to any of y'all, don't touch the car. Let the police come out and dust for prints. Also another reason to keep your car clean, so you will know the prints probably aren't yours if the car was just washed.
If the cop doesn't dust for prints, he's being lazy. Unless it's raining, I dust for prints at every burglary of a motor vehicle that I respond to.

I was just thinking about this, and wondered: Do they do this (instead of smashing the window) to lower the chance that it sets off the shock sensor of the car alarm? I'm guessing that some alarms with the sensitivity set low might not react to this method of breaking the window...

But I agree that for him to not dust for fingerprints is downright lazy. We make it optional for burglary victims, we're honest about it that 90% of the time dusting for prints will yield nothing and leave the car a mess (especially if the interior is dusted), so it's up to them. It is a waste of time for the most part but I see no reason not to give it a shot- it's worth catching the person who did it especially if they're a repeat offender and have prints on file.
