A significant amount of blood was found in at least one vehicle that was the target of an overnight larceny in the Town of Batavia.

The blood -- some of which was collected as evidence -- had law enforcement officials checking with UMMC for anybody who might have reported to the emergency room with a hand or arm laceration.

No suspects were identified through the hospital check.

A total of eight cars were broken into overnight in the Edgewood, Route 33, South Main area, according to Chief Deputy Gordon L. Dibble. Items taken include GPS units, radar detectors, change and sound systems -- some of which were ripped out of dashboards.

All but one of the cars were left unlocked, according to Dibble, and three were left with keys in the ignitions. No cars were reported stolen.  The criminal broke a small window to gain entry to the one locked car he hit.

There was also at least one car struck in the same area within city limits.

If you happen to come across anybody with unexplained cuts, or can offer any other evidence to help solve this or other recent car break-ins, the Sheriff's Office can be contacted at (585) 345-3000 (press "1" for dispatch).

so now we're all deputized and are supposed to make everybody with cuts explain the reason for them. if somebody came to me and told me to explain any injury they would be greeted with a pleasent F U and a one finger salute

Jason, the wording is mine, but you're reading more into than is there.

Exactly, Howard. If you see someone show up with fresh bandages that they didn't have yesterday, a direct observation can be made. I think that with a quick deduction, a person can decide whether that other person may or may not be a suspect. Nobody is being asked to play sheriff or deputy or Joe cop, for Pete sake. Jason, get a clue and get your HOOYA. If it were your car that was broken into and you lost your belongings, tell me you wouldn't want other people try and help you out. Unreal..just unreal.

Sounds like a case for CSI. They have his DNA. Problem is if he's not in the system, good luck finding him. Did they get fingerprints too? There again if he hasn't ever been fingerprinted, they will not be able to identify him either.
