I think if nothing else, if you don't hear back from the father, you might just send him that picture and tell him "this is what was stolen, and I'll be leaving reviews online for your business explaining that a gold Rolex Presidential got stolen from my house when you and your son were the only ones there." Might get you more of a response and faster than fishing around with the DNA stuff. The son is gonna hear "DNA" and laugh. Reviews like that could ruin the business and that would be more of a motivator than bluffing.
By any chance, are these clowns near me? I don't want to accidentally hire thieves who already ripped off another Sigforum member.
Agree with Smudge ... and as an old retired big city LEO knew the DNA story would not hold water as already difficult to get DNA processed on homicide cases. I would of went with a story having a video ( no details ) and the window washers could own up or suffer.
This happened to me at my daughter's house with window washers when an inexpensive caliper disappeared. They knew I had video outside but was able to bullshit about the video inside. The story worked and it was returned sitting on the front porch ( no contact ).
