I know. Can't believe I'm catching so much heat over an admitted mistake.

Don't pay these people any kind of mind, they run around here all day being internet bad asses. It makes them feel better I guess.

Sucks that your vehicle got stolen and I hope it is recovered.

Also, if you speak to an officer about taking your DNA I am almost certain they will tell you that it is simply to compare it to the DNA recovered from your truck. If they swab the door handle of your truck for DNA and then just send it off to the crime lab, they will not have anybody to compare it to. Since there is no suspect at the time it is compared to your DNA, and should also be compared to everyone elses DNA that could be on the area of the truck that was swabbed.

Your DNA was certainly not taken for no reason though. If a suspect ever arises in your case (for example the two black males who were seen walking in a nearby neighborhood are caught, they will take their DNA and compare it to that of your vehicle).

Again, the internet bad arse will chime in acting like they know what they are talking about, when they have no clue. If you would have refused the DNA then it would not have worked in your favor. Would have probably lowered your chances of ever having the person caught (not of finding your vehicle necessarily) tremendously.
