Tom, whoever broke the window cut them self because there was blood on some of the papers I had in the glove box. Would this be of any use to the Police? I don't expect it to be like CSI, but if it could be of any use I'd like to peruse it. After all this was ~$400 in stuff and tampering with US mail.

The blood would only be of use if the police develop a suspect. If they do, they can DNA match the blood.

A lot of people watch TV and think that there is some huge DNA database that cops can just plug any sample into. Only the most violent offenders are included in this database, so it is unlikely that your car burglar is in it. But if the cops get a solid lead or suspect, the blood can be solid evidence.
