Police got DNA from 80yo man through a licked envelope to solve 1950s murder. That and an Ancestry DNA match from his brothers.

apparently the guy was a terror in the 1950's when he drank too much.
The murder of two El Segundo CA.police officers in 57' was solved on fingerprints in 2003.

You're welcome.

But the envelope thing only happened on an old Seinfeld rerun.

But, YES of course saliva contains your DNA. It's expensive to run your DNA sequence and you already have to be in the system for a match to be made. I just threw mine away. Why call the cops over a stupid cheap client turned thief? Just make an alert in the Powder Room for the ladies.

However, I have only gotten two sealed envelopes left on my dresser after a client left. No one actually seals it, so the lady can easily count it. The first sealed one was all funny money, very obviously. The 2nd sealed one was two folded up paper towels.

SO. Just don't take the cancer or poison risk and seal them. Let the lady count it even before the fun starts if she wants. I never insisted on that and got fooled twice. Lay the envelope down and excuse yourself to freshen up. You SHOULD take a quick shower anyway! While you're doing that she can discreetly count it and hide it and give you a toe curling session because she has no worries about you shorting her, not paying, grabbing envelope and running out or whatever. When she's happy, you'll be even happier.
